How to Create a 3D Sphere with Text in Photoshop

I decided that I wanted to created a 3D Sphere but with Text and some decorations. The following below are some steps in creating a 3D sphere with text.

1. Open a new document and create a size of 300 x 300. Choose a background color. I selected a light violet  background which was E4BEE4.

   Call the new layer main circle.
3. Select the Ellipitical Marquee Tool to draw your maincircle on the new layer.
4. Select the Gradient Tool. Choose a gradient. In this case, I selected another gradient called “Simple “and selected a plum or purple gradient. Make sure you the Gradient is set to Radial blend.
5. Fill your Gradient in the circle with the color and the blend.
6. Go to the Select menu and choose Deselect.
7. Create a new layer and called it ovaltop. Choose the Ellipitical Marquee Tool and make a circle towards the top of the circle.
8. Select your paint bucket and choose a color. Choose a color that is complimentary(I selected a yellow color)such as F9F60A. Use this to fill in the small circle at the top.

* As you noticed, I have added some other layers to include text and use a brush to
