# paper-badge

`<paper-badge>` is a circular text badge that is displayed on the top right
corner of an element, representing a status or a notification. It will badge
the anchor element specified in the `for` attribute, or, if that doesn't exist,
centered to the parent node containing it.

Example:

    <div style="display:inline-block">
      <span>Inbox</span>
      <paper-badge label="3"></paper-badge>
    </div>
    <div>
      <paper-button id="btn">Status</button>
      <paper-badge for="btn" label="♥︎"></paper-badge>
    </div>
