Remove inner portion of object



Remove inner portion of object


Question

I'm rather new to Inkscape (always worked with photoshop/gimp) so please excuse my ignorance here.

I'm trying to accomplish the following. I have an object that needs to have a certain part in the center of it removed. Like for example the inside circle in this image. enter image description here

(Excuse the leopard print.) I know how to create objects in Inkscape but how would I "delete" a certain inner part of it?

This is probably the wrong way to say this but I can't think of any other way to explain it.

Thanks

Create two vector objects and play with this menu -
