Setting a range variable using another range variable - vba

Question

I'm having a bit of trouble with this and I'm not sure why...
My code (such that it is, a work in progress) is getting stuck on this line:
Set starRange = .Range(Cells(title), Cells(LR, 3))
Can I not use a range variable to set a new range in this way?
Sub cellPainter()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim starRange, titleRange, found As Range
Dim errorList() As String
Dim i, LR As Integer
i = 0
ReDim errorList(i)
errorList(i) = ""
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
With ws
LR = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
Set titleRange = .Range("C4")
If InStr(1, titleRange, "Title", vbBinaryCompare) < 1 Then
Set found = .Range("C:C").Find("Title", LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not found Is Nothing Then
titleRange = found
Else
errorList(i) = ws.Name
i = i + 1
ReDim Preserve errorList(i)
End If
End If
Set starRange = .Range(Cells(titleRange), Cells(LR, 3))
For Each cell In starRange
If InStr(1, cell, "*", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then Range(cell, cell.Offset(0, 2)).Interior.ColorIndex = 40
If InStr(1, cell, "*", vbTextCompare) = 0 Then Range(cell, cell.Offset(0, 2)).Interior.ColorIndex = 0
Next cell
End With
Next ws
If errorList(0) <> "" Then
txt = MsgBox("The following worksheets were missing the Title row, and no colour changes could be made:" & vbNewLine)
For j = 0 To i
txt = txt & vbCrLf & errorList(j)
Next j
MsgBox txt
End If
End Sub
Edit:
Rory cracked it!
When using a variable inside Range, the Cells property is not required:
Set starRange = .Range(titleRange, .Cells(LR, 3))
