GraphicsPath from Region?

In my code I'm trying to draw a generic button with an arbitrary clipping
region. Is there any way I can get the outline of the region to draw its
border?

Basically what I'm trying to do is take the region of a control and first
draw the border using one color then shrink it down a pixel or two and draw
it again using another color and shrink it down again and fill the interior.
It seems that if I can't get the outline of the region then its a lot more
work to do. I was thinking of simplying intersecting the region with a
shrunk version of itself to remove the interior but this seems a little
backwards. I suppose I could create a custom pen too somehow but not sure
if I can do that or not.

Thanks,
Jon

I have n number of circles. Some of them might overlap. I need to draw the outline of all circles but not those overlap areas. Initially, I am try to use a Region, because a Region object has a Union function Creating a GraphicsPath of 1 circle is easy. So I convert each GraphicsPath to a Region and then Union them. But I could not get back a GraphicsPath of the Unioned Region. Does anyone know how to solve my problem?

When creating a new region for a control via a GraphicsPath object, it appears the entire rightmost column of pixels and bottom most row of pixels are not included in the region. I will try to clarify with some ASCII art. Imagine a GraphicsPath describing a 4x4 pixel square with rounded corners (X = pixel, _ = blank) _ X X _ X X X X X X X X
