This also will be our steps to create the design.

Step 2 : Creating Worksheet

First of all open your CorelDraw program. Now create a new file and set the paper size to A5 ( 14,8 x 21 cm ).

Step 3 : Creating Basic Frame

This will be our Basic Frame for the Flyer.
Go to the "Rectangle Tool ", make a rectangle shape and then make the rectangle shape resized into the same size
as our worksheet which is A5 ( 14,8 x 21 cm )

Now that you have the Basic Frame for our Flyer, make it center page by selecting the Rectangle Shape, and press " P ".
Colorize the Rectangle Shape into Black.
 

Step 4 : Creating The Sun Burst

Okay now we are going to make the Sun Burst,

Move the Rotating Point into the bottom of triangle.

"Left + Right mouse " and release it in order to copy.

Repeat the steps above, copy and duplicate again by Hold & Drag " Left + Right mouse ".

Repeat it again until you have a full rotation.

Okay now that you have the full rotation sun burst, group it by selecting all of them and press "Ctrl+G"
We are going to Rotate, Duplicate and copy it one more time, using the steps above untill you have it similar like picture below.
