Open Corel Draw:

Step 1
Create two intersecting rounded rectangles - intersecting at the curves.Then press shift key and select Both the shapes.

Step 2
Once both the shapes are selected click on 'Weild' which is on the top toolbar. This will merge both the shapes

Step 3
As you see the curve is still uneven, select the shape tool (F10) from the toolbar



Step 4
After clicking on the shape tool you will see 2-3 nodes on the line. I would suggest to remove those nodes which are on the curve as this will give you a perfect curve.

Step 5
