Social Proof Section using Grid, Flexbox and SCSS

Writing the code for the stars was the hardest part of the challenge. I did it by using the ":before:" code. Is it practical to just put 5 images of the star instead? (Which I initially planned to do so) Is there a code that can clone the image you put instead of writing the code 5 times?

I separated the review cards by using margin. Would it have been more practical to just flex/grid them with gap? (Especially in the mobile view where the margin bottom is also applied to the 3rd card, making more gap between the review cards and testimonials session.)
