I saw a Christmas card on the internet in which a PS user made "glass" Christmas ornaments that included pictures. The user said that the sphere was used to create the decorations, but a tutorial was not included with the image. The image looked as though the animals were actually looking out from inside the ornaments. I would like to do this, but I have not figured it out. Anyone have any ideas on this?
 
I assume you are asking how to make it look like glass? It doesn't sound like its hard to get pictures into circles.
 
Is there a way to show us the PS file you want to duplicate?

Ahhh...Best to start with a square graphic then go to Filter>Distort>Spherize, there you can play with the amount of distortion you want. After you get what you waht then copy and paste it to the background file you want. The lights, shadows and hotspots were added by hand, just your own preference really. And if you really want to get into it then you can add reflections of the surrounding items with your stamp tool. Here is a link to something similar to this that I did 2 years ago.
