spangled
Decorated with sparkles
Spangled means covered or decorated with small, bright, sparkling objects—typically spangles, which are small pieces of glittering metal or sequins.
The word evokes scattered points of light: a spangled costume, the star-spangled banner.
Figuratively, anything dotted with bright spots may be spangled: a sky spangled with stars, meadows spangled with wildflowers.
