In this tutorial we will show you how to create a funny button in Corel Draw X3.

Bring up the Fountain Fill Dialog box again.
This time we will need to set the Type to: Radial
Set the Horizontal Offset to: -20 and the Vertical Offset to: 20.
Then, left click on the From color: I selected a light blue color.

That's it for the button.
