Circle over a rectangle using CSS [closed]

Question

I want to design a shape as similar as the following image(effect between circle and rectangle):

I know the circle shape is designed using border-radius and the rectangle like shape is designed with some unordered list having style display: block. But I can't understand how to keep the circle over rectangle so that it looks like that some portion of the rectangle is cut down by the circle in a circle shape ( white color space between circle and rectangle).

I have tried box-shadow, outline, overflow and etc, but it is not working.
Can anyone tell me how can I design a shape as like as the image? - Thanks

    width: 200px;
    height: 50px;
    border-top-left-radius: 5px;
    border-top-right-radius: 5px;
    margin-top: 50px;
}
#circle {
    position: absolute;
    background: red;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;

    height: 75px;

Something like this? http://codepen.io/anon/pen/VvqRep

.rectangle{
  display:block;
  height:40px;
  width:150px;
  background:red;
  position:relative;
  margin-top:100px;
}

.circle{
  position:absolute;
  height:40px;
  width:40px;
  border-radius:40px;
  border:3px solid white;
  left:50%;
  margin-left:-25px;
  top: -20px;
    background:red;
}

the "cut-off" effect is achieved using a border on the circle.

    border-radius: 5px 5px 0 0;
}
#rectangle #circle {
    width:70px;
    height:70px;
    position: absolute;
    top:-35px;
    background:#cc0000;
    border:1px solid #fff;
    border-radius:70px;
