I want to create some pinwheel candy like in the image shown. Colouring is no problem but how do I create the pattern in draw

Here's a video for this.. watch in full-screen, HD.
To make the swirls I would use Lev's Web Graph + the Smart Fill tool. I used the following settings on the macro to draw "guides". Next I used the Smart Fill tool to create the 8 swirl shapes, and then I removed the guides in one click (hit the Clear button on the macro form).
For the 3D look, see the last part of Jeff's video in previous post.

Nice job Patti!
Thank you Jeff and Patti......just noticed your added posts........some very useful info here. As you can see from my avatar I managed to create the pinwheel candy for my gingerbread man design. I always struggle with the highlights and inner shadows so your video taught me some new things and I will go pick up that macro that Patti used :)
