components/velocity/blueprint-grid/BlueprintGrid.astroUsing the Blueprint Grid component
Install it with velocityx add blueprint-grid.
The CLI writes the source straight into your project — no runtime dependency, no registry
lock-in, and it themes itself from the same primary-*/accent-* scale as the rest of the library.

Calm, full-bleed aurora wash of drifting colour fields for hero and section backdrops. Pure CSS, no canvas or JS, fixed low opacity so body text keeps AA contrast on top.
astroSoft, out-of-focus circles in varied sizes and blur drifting gently behind your content, like camera bokeh behind a subject. Warm and photographic rather than geometric — a gentle backdrop for testimonials, pricing, and about pages.
astroA slow, restrained drift of diagonal bands behind a section — reads as quiet motion rather than decoration, so body copy, forms and pricing tables stay fully legible on top.
astroAn animated glowing gradient frame that traces the edge of a card or section to single it out — a rotating ring plus soft halo, never a fill, so the content inside stays untouched.
