Hey all - been toiling with pathfinder and corner rounding to no avail, and I'm out of options! Could anyone offer up a way of making this kind of sparkle shape in Illustrator?
Further to Kurt's suggestion: Create a circle; Add anchor points (Object > Path > Add Anchor points) so you have 8 control points. Select your Shape, and apply the Pucker & Bloat (using a negative value. check Preview so you can see the effect). This will give you a star shape with equal-sized points so direct-select the 4 "middle" ones' points and scale them down to your satisfaction.
