I’d draw the spiral in Omega as vector format, put into paintshop and feather the edges before filling gold, the stars would have to be a copy and paste jobby, could take a while!! rob

corel 12, photoshop & Illustrator.. Not the worlds best on Illustrator tho.

first i drew the 5 lines before exporting them into paintshop pro 7. Here i selected them and used the feather tool to expand the selection, giving the lines a soft edge when filling with a gold gradient, with either flood fill or an airbrush tool. Paintshop pro has a "picture tube" with pre-set shapes in such as ribbons, stars, grass etc. I selected the star tool and just plastered them everywhere! If you get stuck, fire over the file and the requirements i’ll see what i can do when i get 5! rob

Draw the vector in illustrator then export as an eps open in photoshop which creates the shape on a tranparent layer then copy the layer then expand the layer selection by a few pixels then feather the edges slightly then fill with desires colour and you should get a nice glow effect simple as hope this helps
