Yes, but as I wrote above, there are also spiral lines which are not connected to the star points. E.g. the one at 5 o'clock.



It's possible for something to correspond in one direction, but not another.

For example, dad plants a tree when each child is born. So each child has a tree, but that doesn't mean the number of trees in the yard corresponds to the number of children. Some trees might have been there before the kids were born.

So, the relationship from child to tree holds true (each star point has a spiral line at the tip), but not from tree to child (total spiral lines may not match the star points).


When I was counting points, I ignored the amber and blue areas because there are 5 of each, sort of. At 5 o'clock, the area appears to share both blue and amber, and the top one looks like an accidental fingerprint of blue painted over with amber. But basically, if the blue spill or blot is ignored, there are five more-or-less distinct areas of each color.

Five does not correspond to six or seven (or to 10), so there's no direct relation between the paint blobs and the star points regardless of whether there are 6 or 7 star points. And there is no direct relation between paint spots and spiral sections (one section bottom-right shares two colors), so I looked only at the star points and the spirals directly attached to the tips:

            


It's a very asymmetrical star. It's almost like there wasn't enough room for the last narrow leg on the left when they came around to the beginning and they tried to squeeze it in (assuming there are 7 star points). Plus the bottom of the star legs at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock are curved, while the others are straight, which is a bit odd also. It's like the person got confused about whether it was a star point or part of a spiral.
