Tutorial

Click on thumbnailed images to enlarge

First, create new transparent layer about 200 px by 150 px.

Using the rectangle marquee tool, select all by CTRL + A.

Choose a color that you want to put as a surface of the piece. I chose #bb931a.Then click ok.

Use the paint bucket tool, fill the whole rectangle.

Then go to Images> canvas size.

Click left side of the anchor.

Then make the width as 250 px. Then click ok.

Click elliptical marquee tool.

Then make a little circle on the empty space that we just created.

Then fill the circle with the same color that you used before.

Click Eraser Tool and adjust the size to 101 pixels.

Click on the top of the rectangle. Then press delete key.

Go to layer 1 and right click and select blending options.

Then select drop shadow, inner shadow, bevel and emboss and contour.

Then you should get this.
