      In this example, we have a <code>div</code> with a class of <code>has-circular-mask</code> applied to it. <code>has-circular-mask</code> instructs the browser to draw a circle <code>32vw</code> in diameter, radiating out from a central point set <code>50%</code> from the left and <code>50%</code> from the top of its container. 
    </p>
    <p>
      Try playing around with <code>clip-path()</code>'s three arguments (<code>32vw</code>, <code>50%</code>, and <code>50%</code>) to see how it changes the mask's shape.
