How to make a sparkle?

[varaloba]

Or you could make them from the quick shapes star if you want bigger sparkles.

Hi Andy,
I have seen your "bigger" image on http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...t=sparkle+text but I don't seem to be able to find out how to add the sparkle / stars in Xara Xtreme - the text is OK, but I would appreciate your help with this final step, as the image you have produced is really good.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards,
Colin
