Still in the layer style of the circle, add a color overlay with 100% opacity of the colour you want the button to have. I gave it an orange color of the tutorial.

6.

Do this with the sphere layer selected:
Select - Load selection - Layer 1 transparency

Also, make a color overlay with 100% opacity with the same color you used for the sphere.

Now add your text to the button!

10.

Delete the background layer.

11.

Save the image as GIF, so that you can put this button on any background using transparency.

Final result:
