Why this star mandala is so much fun
An eight-pointed star sits in the center, surrounded by a flower-shaped area dotted with tiny stars, dots and sparkles. Around it lies a ring of eight big five-pointed stars. On the outside, striped arches and little stars take turns, and star points stick out all around the edge. The whole design is round and repeats eight times – perfect for an even color scheme.

Where does the name “Silvester” come from?
The stars in the night sky are giant suns, so far away that we only see them as tiny dots of light. They seem to twinkle because our air is always moving and bends their light a little. On clear winter nights you can often see lots of stars, because cold air is frequently very clear. So between the fireworks on New Year's Eve, look up – you might spot real stars too.
