Using the Ellipse Tool (Shift F4) and holding down the Ctrl key to constrain the ellipse to a circle, draw 2 circles, 90 and 35 pixels in diameter. Align the circles as show in the illustration above top left. Make a duplicate and align the small circle right center as shown on the top right. Apply a white fill to the larger circles and a 60% black fill to the smaller circles. Select the Blend Tool (F7). Click on the white circle and drag to the darker circle to apply a blend. Change the number of Blend Steps on the Infobar to 7 and press Enter . Repeat this blend for the circles on the right. You will have 2 blends. Select each of the blends and from the Arrange menu, select Convert to Editable Shapes. Space the two groups of circles so the combined distance between the two outside edges is 470 pixels. Both groups of circles should be bottom or top aligned. Drag the Blend Tool from one group of circles to the other. Change the number of Blend Steps to 3 and press Enter. You should now have a blend the same as shown at the bottom of the above illustration. Change the outline for all the circles to 60% black by right clicking on the 60% Black square on the screen palette. When viewed as a Stereogram, this blend should appear as though you are looking down a series of tubes.
Create a new 50 pixel diameter circle. Apply the Sky fill from the Bitmap Gallery (F11) and resize it as shown on top. Make 4 duplicates and evenly distribute the circles so they are 385 pixels apart on the outside edges. Use the Horizontal Positions: Distribute Equi-spaced setting in the Alignment menu. Select the circles with the Fill Tool and move the center of the fills as shown above using the arrow keys.
Select all 5 circles then switch to the Bevel Tool (Ctrl F3). Drag any of the red arrow control handles towards the center to apply a Inner Bevel. Change the Contrast slider setting to 80%. From the drop down list of Bevel Types, select Rounded. Select Size from the Slider Type drop down list and change the slider setting to 25pix. Select all 5 beveled circles and group them (Ctrl g).
