I always thought as these stars as simply filling up the available space, so it surprised me that there was so much difference between their numbers, from 7 to 12.
Then I wondered if maybe there are size differences between the white sections, allowing for more or fewer stars to be placed. This is notoriously hard to assess with the naked eye, so I overlaid the 7 and 12 from your image in Photoshop. I tried to trace the pen lines and avoid painted areas.
