Changing background colors of graphics

[mmboyer]

I just watched it with fascination, and it was really cool! Fortunately I have Xara Photo & Graphic Designer only on a trial basis, but I am glad I had it! I was able to outline the moon well enough and it took an eternity to get the two halves grouped together. Anyway, I wanted to fill my new shape with the same color as the outline. You'd think that would be the easiest part, right? Nope. I have been trying to fill using every idea I have found and the darn thing will not fill! Any idea's? I made the "drawing" using part of the technique that Egg showed, but since I didn't need to layer it anywhere, I didn't do the layer thing, that part I was having a tough time following anyway. I want to fill this shape and blur the edges so some of my unsteadiness won't show. I will try to attach it, it is hard to see because it is just an outline in yellow.
