The following VBA example creates a "flower" by duplicating circles. It then creates a larger flower by duplicating this group of six circles five more times, to form six petals of different colors.
Sub Test()
Dim n As Long
Dim sr As New ShapeRange, sr1 As ShapeRange
Dim s As Shape
Set s = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2(0, 0, 0.5)
s.RotationCenterX = 1
s.RotationCenterY = 1
For n = 1 To 5
sr.Add s.Duplicate
s.Rotate 60
Next n
sr.Add s
sr.ApplyUniformFill CreateRGBColor(255, 0, 0)
sr.RotationCenterX = ActivePage.SizeWidth / 2
sr.RotationCenterY = ActivePage.SizeHeight / 2
For n = 0 To 4
Set sr1 = sr.Duplicate
sr1.ApplyUniformFill CreateRGBColor(255, 255 * (1 - n / 5), 0)
sr.Rotate 60
Next n
End Sub
