  • Is the resource ENTIRELY my own work?
  • If no to the previous one, do I have permission from the original author?
  • If no to the previous one, did I put a reasonable amount of work into the resource myself, such that the changes are noticeably different from the source that I could take credit for them?
If you answered no to all three, maybe you should consider taking your stuff somewhere other than the Resources forum.

Please don't put requests here! They have their own forum --> here. Thank you!

Looks OK, but there should be different flare graphics with the starburst effect at different angles, so that decorations don't have the exact same-looking flare effect.

One thing I would like to point out is that the usage in the above screenshot is rather gratuitous. IMO I would reserve flares like that for small, intensely-bright objects, while bigger objects get a "glow" that has the same shape as the object's outline. Also, these flares should be more visible in darker areas, but I don't know, that's just me.
