Question

I would like to create this shape using just css. I am pretty sure this can be done. But i am having trouble with gradients involved.

This shape will contain some text inside. Suggested html markup is:

<div class="container">
    ... more html contents...
</div>

A jsFiddle would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
