you need to save the white inside the star and Not to save the white in the background ?! but Illustrator didn't save any whites ?

if so it is so easy!
duplicate your star making one in white color and the other one above with your floral pattern and export it as PNG.

But not for InDesign.

ya for InDesign he can copy and past from illustrator to indesign, Saving it as PDF or Ai and use the (Show import option) command.

Thank you very much for your answers. I want copy only a frame and then place in InDesign. Durning export as a .png there is problem, backround around star is transparent, but inside is white. I have polish version Background_Color = Kolor tła, Transparent = Przezroczyste. Settings are the same.

P.S When I place a photo inside a star there is very big photo, can I fit size a photo to star? (keyboard shortcut or only by hand?)

Thank you very much for yours help. I am learning Adobe Illustrator and still I don't know not many.

Don't eport as a PNG for InDesign.

Just save as AI with PDF compatibility and then place the AI in InDesign.

You will need to show us how exactly you built your star. Probably there is a white object that you need to delete, but probably you will need to set the fill of an object to "None".
