Then move the little babyboy a little bit down in the image. Then make a ball for him with your preset shape tool, with shape ellipse. Add a new layer, call it ball. Shut off your foreground colour, set #FF4040 as your background colour and make a ball in the size you like for him.

Then Effects>Noise>Add 3% uniform.

Then add a new layer and with your preset shapes, colour white this time, make a tiny ellispe. Then turn it a little with your deformationtool like this:

Then last thing, Effects>Blur>Gaussian Blur, set radius to 5. and then you are finished.
