This tutorial is usefull for creating an interface pattern, I hope I can explain it clearly here. Anyway, at first you have to understand smooth edges tutorial, otherwise....it won't came out good. Everytime I type SMOOTH, then you have to smooth it with some steps from the smooth tutorial.
If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask me....I would love to help :) Enjoy

1) Create a new layer and an interface...with any style....hehe :) Mine...fig 1, then SMOOTH it (fig 2)
                  
Fig 1                                                                          Fig 2

2) Ctrl+click that layer, then go to Select > Modify > Contract (I used 8 pixels :: fig3). Create a new layer then fill it with WHITE (fig 4). Copy that new layer for future use (**look at layers window fig 5)
                 
Fig 3                                                                           Fig 4

                 We gonna start working on Layer 3 copy.....
Fig 5

3) Now select Elliptical Marquee Tool then create a circle with shift key press down on the center of the interface. (fig 6)...then delete the selection area by hit delete key & SMOOTH it (fig 7)
                 
Fig 6                                                                           Fig 7

4) While in that layer (**Layer 3 copy**) , create another smaller circle than the prev one (Fig 8), then click on Layer 3 (fig 9) and ctrl+shift+I to Inverse the selection (fig 10)....hit delete key to delete the selection (fig 11)
                 
Fig 8                                                                          Fig 9

                   
Fig 10                                                                         Fig 11
