Spangled? Definition please?

Question

Apart from "Star Spangled Banner" can people give examples of using that word in a sentence? Is Confetti scattered on the ground, "Spangled"?

Answer 1

Well here is a definition from the dictionary:

A small sparkling object, drop, or spot:

---Spangles of sunlight.

To adorn or cause to sparkle by covering with or as if with spangles:
