Can I use the word "twinkle" other than stars?

Yes, you can! It's also commonly used as a verb to refer to two other things: the gleam of something that is shiny or a source of light, similar in meaning to the verbs "glitter" or "shimmer;" and a sparkle or gleam in one's eyes. Ex: Her eyes twinkled with joy. Ex: The fairy lights twinkled along the porch.
