Now it's time to resize the gradient circle you just
made. press the shortcut keys Ctrl+T. Take your cursor and move transform it and
take
your soft brush eraser and erase around the gradient
circle to get more of a softer look. It should look a little

circle on step 1 #E9829C. After you have
placed it on your

soft brush eraser and erase around it.
Might look a little
something like this:
