Looks good, are the edges supposed to have a sawtooth texture or is that because they need to be at a higher resolution?

This is my first entry into any guild challenges. I used MS Word to create the star form and color, then added the text, layering, and texture in Photoshop.
I may still add more to the image, as I think a coat of arms or something like it should be at the center. I also might try simplifying the color.

Thanks. I'll try playing with softening the edge manually.
But here is the PNG version to see how that one turned out.

if you want extra sharpness - redraw the stars in photoshop, you can use the pen tool for that... and congrats on entering your first challenge
