if you're wiling to compensate for its depth:

\defineoverlay
   [BigCirc]
   [{\scale
       [width=\overlaywidth]
       {\setbox0\hpack{\bigcirc}\raise\dp0\box0}}]

\framed
   [background=BigCirc,
  % frame=off,
    width=3cm,
    height=3cm]
   {test}

but bigcirc isn't meant for that

\startusableMPgraphic{MetaCirc}
     draw fullcircle
         xyscaled 
(OverlayWidth-OverlayLineWidth,OverlayHeight-OverlayLineWidth)
         withpen pencircle scaled OverlayLineWidth
         withcolor OverlayColor ;
\stopusableMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[MetaCirc][\useMPgraphic{MetaCirc}]

\framed
   [background=MetaCirc,
    backgroundcolor=red,
    frame=off,
    rulethickness=1pt]
   {test}

\framed
   [background=MetaCirc,
    backgroundcolor=blue,
    rulethickness=.5pt]
   {test}

is more flexibel in the end
