Start with an image 500 X 500 pixels.

 


Layer one-Gradient set to Linear-Repeats 0-Angle 0

 

 


Go to Effects>Texture Effects>Blinds. Use these Settings.

 

 


Go to Effects>Geometric Effects>Circle. 

 

 


Go to Effects>Texture Effects>Polished Stone. 
Use these settings. Color #404040.

 

 


Click on the selection tool.
Set it to Circle, Antialias Checked.
Start in center, select a circle a little smaller than your circle image.
Go to Selections>Modify>Feather. Set it to 1. 
Go to Selections>Invert. Go to Edit> Clear.
Go to Selections>Select None.

 

 

 

Go to Layers>Duplicate.
Go to Image>Rotate. Set it to 90 degrees. 
Make sure "All Layers" is NOT Checked.
Set the Layer Blend Mode to Difference.

You can call it done now.

 

If you'd like a different effect.
Go Layers>Merge>Merge Visible.
Go to Effects>Artistic Effects>Colored Foil.
Use these settings. Color Black.

 

 


Best to save it as a PSP file without a drop shadow.

 

 

Experiment, and have fun!
