[Tutor] Function help

[Scott W Dunning]

I am VERY new to python (programming too).  I had a question regarding functions.  Is there a way to call a function multiple times without recalling it over and over.  Meaning is there a way I can call a function and then add *5 or something like that?  I am trying to code an American Flag using turtle for class so I’ll post the code I have so far below.  As you can see towards the bottom I recall the functions to draw the stars, fill in color and give it spacing.  I was wondering if there was a way to cut down on all that some how?  

Thanks for any help!
