5 Comments:
the only thing about that technique is that the starburst always looks jagged around 12 oclock where the right side of the document meets the left side. i recommend taking a piece from either the very right or left side of the document, once you've completed step three, and dragging it over to the opposite side of the document. it will transition much better.

oh one more note, when you drag the selection over, make sure you flip it horizontally or else it will still look jagged
