Sub Test()
  Dim s1 As Shape, s2 As Shape, s3 As Shape
  Set s1 = ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(2.5, 8.5, 4.5, 6.5)
  s1.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 100, 100, 0
  Set s2 = s1.Duplicate
  s2.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 100, 0, 0, 0
  ActiveDocument.ReferencePoint = cdrTopLeft
  s2.Stretch 0.866025, 1
  s2.Skew 0, -30
  s2.Move -0.866025, 0.5
  Set s3 = s1.Duplicate
  s3.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 0, 100, 0
  s3.Stretch 0.866025, 1
  s3.Skew 0, 30
  s3.Move 0.866025, -0.5
  s1.Stretch 0.866025, 1
  s1.Skew 0, 30
  s1.Rotate -60
  s1.Move 0, 1
