I think I've solved It.

DEMO

Here is What I've added to The Code given at: http://css-tricks.com/tabs-with-round-out-borders/

I've Just added, background-color property to pseudo element :before and :after of .active li's css.

As follows:

.tabs li { 
  /* Makes a horizontal row */
  float: left; 

  /* So the psueudo elements can be
     abs. positioned inside */
  position: relative; 
  /*Make Sure The Li's stays Inline */
   display:inline-block;
  /* Remove Ugly Chromes `.` */
   list-styling:none;
}
.tabs .active a { 
  /* Colors when tab is active */
  background: #aea; /* Added Green Color */ 
  color: black; 
}
.tabs li:last-child:after,   .tabs li:last-child a:after,
.tabs li:first-child:before, .tabs li:first-child a:before,
.tabs .active:after,   .tabs .active:before, 
.tabs .active a:after, .tabs .active a:before {
    content: "";
    background: #afa; 
  }
.tabs .active:before, .tabs .active:after {
  background: white; 
  background:#afa;  
  /* Squares below circles */
  z-index: 1;
}
.tabs .active a:after, .tabs .active a:before {
  background: #ddc385;
}

and here is another fiddle after adding some JQuery to make it live. Hope it helps :).
