flutter Icon button with text description below it

Question

am new in flutter and i need to use an image button with text description below it. NB both the button and the Text description should lie under one card,

i.e the button should have a text description "airtime" below it.

Here is my code:

final userIcons = Row(
  children: <Widget>[
    new Card(color: Colors.deepOrangeAccent,
      shape: CircleBorder(),
      child: (SizedBox(
        height: 100.00,
        width: 100.0,
        child: new IconButton(highlightColor:Colors.deepOrangeAccent ,
            icon: Image.asset('assets/airtime.png'),
            onPressed: () {
              Navigator.of(context).pushNamed(Airtime.tag);
            }),


      )),

Answer 1

Use a Column to display widgets in vertical order:

Column(
  mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
  children: <Widget>[
    Icon(...),
    Text(...),
  ],
)

Answer 2

Heres a widget I wrote for a project which should do the job.

I provided examples of a "Icon Button with Text Below It" and also a "Image Button with Text Below It"

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      home: Scaffold(
        body: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: [
            Row(
              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
              children: [
                IconTextButton(
                  image: Image.network(
                    'https://robohash.org/YOUR-TEXT.png',
                    height: 50,
                  ),
                  label: 'image button',
                  onTap: () {
