Draw two lines tangent to the two ellipses (shown here in red). Use the Shape Tool to drag the control nodes on the ellipses until they meet the tangent lines. Select all four elements and Combine them (Ctrl L). Use the Shape Tool to marquee select the nodes where they meet and join them. Drag and duplicate a small and smaller copy of the big bulb shape. Fill them as shown here. Blend (Ctrl B) the largest shape to the middle shape. Then Blend the middle shape to the smallest shape. Finally create a Custom Fountain Fill on the bottom square. (Shown here is the new Xara-like Interactive Fill tool, which allows you to drag colors from the palette directly to the fill.)
