seven shape challenge

Using no more than seven shapes, draw a graphic depicting anything you want. You are limited to the following tools, fill tool (flat fill only) and the shape editor or pen tool.
Mine is called La Costa Dorada - The Gold Coast (would make a nice banner)?

Egg is disqualified as he used the Animation tool which wasn't listed as a permitted tool.

Out you go Egg

(Pretty smart though Eric)

Very nice coast

Keeping things simple is sometimes really the best thing to do.

Seven shapes and six colours here (upload fails, using external link)

I haven't visited this thread for a while, John I like the cat, but why should you be curling yourself up in a ball?

Ingenious method, Steve.
Suvek, I think yours would make a lovely cameo.

I've been attempting to make the shapes into a realistic looking beach ball, but I have to confess to cheating. Can anyone think of a way to do this whilst conforming to the rules of the challenge?
Saludos,
Bob.
