1..Create
a new file, resolution=150ppi, Mode=RGB
2..With the Selection tool, make a new selection.

3..Click SELECT>>MODIFY>>SMOOTH and
enter a number to round the corners of your selection.

4..Save
the selection as channel #4,
5..If
you plan on adding a drop shadow to your button, copy channel
#4 to create channel #5 then make channel
#4 active.
6..Click
FILTER>>BLUR>>GUASSIAN BLUR and blur the
selection in steps ie: 6, 4, 2.

7..Return
to the composite channel, then open the texture you want to
use.

8..working
with the texture use SELECT>>ALL then go to EDIT>>DEFINE
PATTERN.
9..return to your new image and load Channel #4.
10..Fill the selection using Pattern, Opacity 100%,
Mode normal. Do not deselect the selection.

11.Select
FILTER>>RENDER>>LIGHTING EFFECTS and play
with the settings until you get what you want.
12..I have found that unchecking 'White is high' creates a cleaner
effect. I used Spotlight, 17, 75, -25, 63, 0, 32,Texture
Channel #4, uncheck 'white is high', and 89.

13..Now
you can enter your text or dingbat to finish
