Step-By-Step

Group all the bean elements. Make several duplicates and create a group. Duplicate the group until you have a pile of jellybeans. Place a duplicate of the ellipse from the top of the golden pot over the bean pile. Convert the ellipse to Editable Shapes (Arrange menu). With the Shape Editor Tool select the two outside nodes and click on the Break At Points icon on the Property Bar. Delete the top portion of the ellipse. Group all of the bean groups, then select the half ellipse and the bean group and from Arrange select Combine Shapes-Slice Shapes. Select the objects below the half ellipse and delete until your bean pile looks the one shown here. (You might have to repeat this a few times).

Place the blended ellipses on top of the golden pot, and position the trimmed bean pile over that. The star-bursts are Quick Shape 9-sided stars, filled white with Circular Transparency applied.
