Go to layer palette and open the menu as shown below and merge down.

Now we will define the pattern and save it, so go to edit -> define pattern and give it a name you can remember.

Make a new document, 400 by 400 and give the background layer a red color or gradient (same as the inner part of our small hole pattern). Then make a new empty layer for us to work in.

Go to edit -> fill and locate the pattern we just made, and hit ok, now you should have an image like this.
