Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions.
I finished it acceptably for me with a combination of double lines for
the simple shapes and pairs of curvy rectangles for the real cute bow.
I did start off with sectors at one point and cut a bit off and then
used that.
When I have a bit more time (panic mode currently!) I'll have a bash at
contours on Xara; I have to use this occasionally for shadows but it is
no good in v. 4, as I found today, for intricate, curvilinear shapes.
But skinflint here is refusing to shell out for version 5 as they don't
seem to be offering enough of a discount for v. 4 owners.
