Please attach the file, so it can be downloaded. It wants to open in Illustrator on the web.

You have somwthing applied to the layer, which is obviously causing whatever is happening here. When strokes are aligned to the outside or inside, then in some cases they are treated differently.

Hi @MahaB82A,

In your Appearance panel, if you drag "Stroke" below "Fill," does this give you the effect you're looking for?

Hi @MahaB82A,

Sorry, I'm trying to understand... are you wanting your blue star to have a thick red outline, like the yellow and red star?
