Activate the FX Brush tool and choose the FX Sparkle Brush from the drop-down list.

The FX Sparkle Brush looks like a bundle of thin sharp rays radiating from the bright center. You can adjust the color of the rays, while the center of the sparkling element always remains white. With this tool, you can add stars, sparkles, and light flashes to your pictures, create eye-catching shining graphics.
