6. Now use repeat the step (4) for each rectangles to hide the extra parts, then make a new layer place it on top of all layers name it left shadow use soft rounded Brush (B) and paint with black color at the left side on left shadow layer, do the same thing to the right side as well.

7. Use the Rectangle Tool to make the zigzag lines, draw a rectangle and rotate it  as I did in bellow then make a copy of this layer and press (Ctrl+T) then Right Click and Flip it horizontally.

8. So duplicate these two  rectangles and make a long zigzag lines, then select all these rectangle lines and right click on any thumbnail layers and merge them together. Now use this zigzag line to complete your design and add three stars at the center or the egg.

9. Now apply the Inner Shadow layer style to the Egg layer, you can find the layer style at the bottom side of the layer panel (Fx).

10. Duplicate the Egg layer and put the layer thumbnail under the left shadow layer apply Gaussian Blur and change blending mode to Overlay, it make the egg brighter and natural. Finally use the brush tool and make a soft drop shadow to the egg.
