### Circle
Creates a circle shape with pure CSS.
#### HTML
```html
<div class="circle"></div>
```
#### CSS
```css
.circle {
border-radius: 50%;
width: 2rem;
height: 2rem;
background: #333;
}
```
#### Demo
<div class="snippet-demo">
<div class="snippet-demo__circle"></div>
</div>
<style>
.snippet-demo__circle {
border-radius: 50%;
width: 2rem;
height: 2rem;
background: #333;
}
</style>
#### Explanation
`border-radius: 50%` curves the borders of an element to create a circle.
Since a circle has the same radius at any given point, the `width` and `height` must be the same. Differing
values will create an ellipse.
