Start with a new image, transparent background and 16 million colors. This one is 150 x 150. Pick a nice bright color for the foreground and black for the background colors. Use the shape selection tool to make a circle. Flood fill with a Sunburst Gradient: Tolerance 200, Opacity 100, set the options to Vertical 21 and Horizontal 31.


Add a new layer. Selections->Modify->Contract by 16. Selections->Modify->Feather 8.
