Creating blends on paths
Once you create a blend, you can then apply the blend to a path. Applying a blend to a 
path is an easy way to wrap a blend around an object or create special effects in your 
artwork.
The blend follows the contours of the path in the orientation specified in the Blend 
Options dialog box. If Align to Path is selected, the alignment of the blend follows the 
contours of the path. If Align to Page (the default setting) is selected, the blend is aligned 
with the x axis of the page.
To apply a blend to a path:
Select a blend and hold down Shift to select a path.
Choose Object > Blend > Replace Spine.
To reverse the order of a blend on a path:
Select the blend.
Choose Object > Blend > Reverse Spine. The objects are ordered in reverse on the path.
To reverse the stacking order of a blend on a path:
Select the blend.
