        right = 15,
        bottom = 10,
        left = 15,
    ),

    ),
    border = Border(
        size = 5,
        radius = 10,
    ),
) {
    Text(
        kind = title,
        wrap = false,
        ellipsize_at = end,
        justification = center,
    )
    Text(
        kind = body,
        style = bold-italic,
        margin = Spacing(top = 12),
