This is the demonstration file to accompany the article, How to add a flashing star to a PowerPoint slide, by Susan Harkins.

From the intro of this Microsoft PowerPoint article:

You’ve probably seen the gum commercial in which teeth are so shiny that they flash stars when the person smiles. It’s a fun effect, and you create it in Microsoft PowerPoint using a few timed animations with one star shape. Once you add a star, you might want to add more—although, one is certainly enough. More stars just add to the fun. In this article, I’ll show you how to add one star that hangs around for a second or two and then disappears. In a future article, I’ll show you how to add several flashing stars.
