Animated Gradient Background is a vibrant, motion-driven background effect designed to add depth and interactivity to any layout. It blends multiple colors into a fluid, breathing gradient animation and responds to user clicks with elegant ripple effects—creating an organic, living background that feels modern and dynamic.
The component leverages Framer Motion for smooth scaling and opacity transitions while continuously animating radial gradients in real time. The breathing effect subtly expands and contracts the gradient radius for a soothing visual rhythm, while click ripples introduce responsive feedback that adds an engaging tactile layer.
