This example adds a new, blank slide at the end of the active presentation, adds a diamond shape to the new slide, duplicates the diamond, and then sets properties for the duplicate. The first diamond will have the default fill color for the active color scheme; the second diamond will be offset from the first one and will have the default shadow color.

Set mySlides = ActivePresentation.Slides
Set newSlide = mySlides.Add(mySlides.Count + 1, ppLayoutBlank)
Set firstObj = newSlide.Shapes _
    .AddShape(msoShapeDiamond, 10, 10, 250, 350)

With firstObj.Duplicate
    .Left = 150
    .Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = ppShadow
End With
