    background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(0,0,0,.05) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,.05) 100%);
    background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(0,0,0,.05) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,.05) 100%);
    margin: 0 auto;
    }

I try to create spacing between boxes on top of each other .
Somehow the both stick on top to each other and i cant manage to have spacing between them. When i add margin or padding it doesnt change anything .

The margin: 0 auto; is setting the top and bottom margins of the rectangle to 0, so that's why there is no spacing between them.

Set it to margin: 15px auto; and you will have space.
