Karen:

Draw a donut - a circle whose perimeter is very thick - and add arrowheads 
of appropriate colours at 120 degree intervals: many fonts, including 
Microsoft's Webdings, have triangular glyphs you can use as 
arrow-heads.  Just pick one you like, resize it, and rotate it, in one of 
the three desired colours.  Repeat for the other two, then re-colour the 
appropriate segments of the donut, then select each of the three coloured 
regions and create the 3D effects.
