I’m trying to get this small black circle to stay within the bounds of the larger white circle, using the white circle as a clipping mask for the black circle. These are two separate objects. I’d like to achieve this with compositing as I can’t use the Shrinkwrap modifier since they are both Bezier Circles. If there’s a way to achieve this in the viewport that’d be even better, thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Thank you, but that’s not quite what I was looking for. I’ve decided to just make the larger circle a mesh and shrinkwrap the smaller one to it.
I wouldn’t use two circles for this- just take your white circle and add the black circle procedurally using shader nodes. It’ll be masked and far easier to control.
The shader nodes to make a perfect circle are:
Texture Coordinate (object) → Mapping → separate XYZ
On the X and Y outputs, add a math (power) node with exponent two. Add those math nodes together with a third math node, than take the square root of that with a fourth. Perfect circle. You can move it by changing the location values of the mapping node

An even simpler method would be to create a spherical mask using the length of the Object Vector from the Texture Coordinate node and check if it’s less than a specific value (that will be the radius of the sphere):

That’s exactly what I needed! Thank you!
