engraved)

4. Create an eclipse on the upper top of the circle. Give it a gradient of white to transparent, opacity 30%.
Now change its property to overlay.
Similarly, make another much smaller eclipse, position it on the top. Fill it with white, change opacity to
20%.
Your glossy orb is ready.
Yu can add text or custom shapes to this orb to change it into different elements.
