The small rectangles surrounding the object are its handles, which are visible when the object is selected. When an object is selected, menu commands and changes to the controls in the inspectors apply to that object. This particular object is a composite of two separate Create objects; in order to see how each object was created, we must ungroup the object. Choose Ungroup from the Object menu. You will now see an additional set of handles around the A in the ball.

Let's start by inspecting and recreating the shadowed ball.

Select the oval tool from the tool palette by clicking on it. Notice that the cursor changes from an arrow to a cross when it is in the
Create window.
