ah ha! Mystery revealed.
I thank you all for your input on this little project. It helped me tremendously. I kept re-arranging and re-arranging the elements that you suggested (and that I really liked too) and it finally just came together for a crown fit for a "Star Light Queen".
The song "Close to You" kept running through my head (yeah, I'm showing my age there! LOL). "Why do birds suddenly appear...why do stars fall down from the sky", etc.
Now if I can just work that "moon dust" in there. LOL.
Actually, I need to cover the inside of it and put some glitter on the top edges. I had thought about putting tissue fringe on the bottom edge, but it just ended up looking a little too fussy to me.
So there you have it, a crown fit for the "Star Light Queen". I used a few vintage elements, as well as some new scrap bookie things too. Thanks again for your help in pulling it together.

I love your crown....you certainly put your own "stamp" on it, and made it fabulously your own! I'm glad you chose the ticking....that won my vote.
