CorelDraw 11 can do this pretty easily: make some circles that overlap  
and then there's a button called "intersect" that makes a figure with  
just the intersection that you can then color. You can then export to  
.eps and include into a LaTeX file as usual.

I bought CorelDraw for the express purpose of creating graphics to  
export to .eps.

Of course, now that I use pdftex, my usual graphics routine is (create  
in Geometer's sketchpad, copy to CorelDraw) save as .eps from  
CorelDraw, open in TeXShop to get a .pdf, and then include the .pdf.

Does anyone know of a (vector) graphics program that exports .pdf?  
Printing to .pdf isn't good, because it prints an entire page, not just  
the graphic.
