Easier way to create circle div than using an image?

Question

I'm wondering if there's an easier way to create circular divs than what I'm doing now.

Currently, I am just making an image for each different size, but it's annoying to do this.

Is there anyway using CSS to make divs which are circular and I can specify the radius?

Here's a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/JJytE/1170/

CSS:

.circleBase {
    border-radius: 50%;
    behavior: url(PIE.htc); /* remove if you don't care about IE8 */
}

.type1 {
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    background: yellow;
    border: 3px solid red;
}
.type2 {
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
    background: #ccc;
    border: 3px solid #000;
}
.type3 {
    width: 500px;
    height: 500px;
    background: aqua;
    border: 30px solid blue;
}

HTML:

<div class="circleBase type1"></div>

<div class="circleBase type2"></div><div class="circleBase type2"></div>

<div class="circleBase type3"></div>

To make this work in IE8 and older, you must download and use CSS3 PIE. My demo above won't work in IE8, but that's only because jsFiddle doesn't host PIE.htc.

My demo looks like this:
