    Make a copy of each ball’s group. Mark out the copy and press Ctrl+E. Do this operation with each copy. The copies may be turned over with the Free Transform selection, changing the sizes, as it is represented on the next picture. This way we’ll get a reflection.

    Mark out the layer containing the reflection and make a mouse click on the bottom part of the layers’ palette on Add a Mask selection. Choosing the Gradient Tool (G) of black color, represent the semi transparency:

    Selecting the Ellipse Tool (U), try to make three similar layers for shadows and after that place them under the balls’ layers. The color is white.

    Create a new layer on which we must insert several white dots of different sizes, placed around the ribbons. In this case we have to choose the Brush Tool (B).
