Click twice to enter Rotate - Skew mode and drag the top center skew handle to the left until the ends meet. Select the Shape Editor Tool and raise the bottom right point upwards as shown. Repeat for the other tower.
If you have not already done so, name and save your file and take a short eye break. I'll meet you back on the next page. |

Before Xara X, there was no way
to soften just the edge of an object short of creating a complex blend. The new Feathering slider (on the top right side of the Infobar) makes this process blissfully simple. Select the moon

Click on the rectangle at the
bottom of the picture with the Fill Tool. Select Elliptical from the drop down list. Stretch the fill shape and use the two colors shown.
Ooops. I missed a step. You were
