Use your Elipse tool to draw a circle.

circle behind the cluster

but under everything else.

To this layer apply the Mosaic antique with below settings

Columns and Rows 50--Symmetric Checked-- Tile diffusion 70

Grout width 5-- Grout diffusion

Apply the above one more time to same layer....

I at this time cropped off some of the extra I did not need

so I could properly apply my mask.

Copy and paste Paper 10 as a new layer. Place this layer all the way to the bottom

but above the white layer.

Apply Mask 116 

Merge the mask layer...Duplicate this layer 2 times

On the bottom mask layer add a drop shadow
