  3. Select all of the smallest circles and combine them (Ctrl+L) and trim using the largest circle.
  4. Convert everything to isometric ellipses by applying a 56.6 percent vertical stretch.
Move the two smaller ellipses up a bit. Fill everything with white. Use the Extrusion tool to apply an extrusion to the objects shown with the following settings: Back parallel, x = 0.00 y=-0.25, VP locked to object and vanishing point relative to object center.
