tar subdirectories for specific files

I have a sample directory structire like following

# pwd
/user/test

and I have files like following

out.txt
A/a.txt
B/b.txt
C/c.txt
(A,B,C are directories )

# tar cvf test.tar *
a A/a.txt 1 blocks
a B/b.txt 1 blocks
a C/c.txt 1 blocks
a out.txt 1 blocks

But whenever I give
# tar cvf test.tar *.txt
a out.txt 1 blocks

My question is when I give "tar cvf test.tar *.txt", why it is not copying all the files like *.txt recursively. How can I tar recursively using wild card.

Regards,
Ronald.
