Story Hover Card

For use in Full-Width containers only.

The Story Hover Card widget is used to highlight three items in a side-by-side fashion, by pairing an exciting image with a brief description. It includes text with a rollover feature that shows additional text and a Call To Action link when a mouse hovers over.
