Here is one way (which may not be the only or preferred way):

Draw your graphic, using the appropriate fill colors, etc. and group
the items you want to export together.  Select the group, then use the
COPY command or control-INSERT to place your selection to the
clipboard.

Switch to an application such as WINGIF that supports the GIF file
format as well as the clipboard.  PASTE into WINGIF, then save your
graphic as a GIF.

Use of the clipboard is also a fast way to export graphics from
CorelDraw to other applications such as Powerpoint or Excel.
