PS- This Orb looks better the small the orb is and to add a better affect, Hold Ctrl and left **** on the orb layer. Then make a new layer (Shift+Ctrl+Alt+N) and go to Select ->Modify -> Expand. For this size orb I made, enter the number 2 and **** OK. Next Fill the section with you background color. Then right **** on the layer you are using and **** blending options. Go to gradient affect and **** the checkbox. Then adjust the gradient affect to match your background and check the reverse box ann your finished.
