Step-By-Step

Rotate the light as shown. Create and rotate a yellow ellipse and apply a Circular Interactive Transparency (shown here in the dotted line and directional arrow). Click on the inside square and change the number on the new Property Bar to 0% (no transparency). Click on the outside square and change the percentage to 100 (complete transparency). This adds a realistic diffused glow to the light.

Double click on the Polygon Tool (the pentagon) and change the number to 24. Click on Polygon As Star and set the Sharpness setting to 80. Draw a star burst and position it over the first bead on the garland. Apply a Circular Fountain Fill with a light green center offset up and right. Do the same for the ending bead but change the green to pale red. Blend the two along the same path as the garland.
