iPhoto like NSButton

Question

How can I create a iPhoto like button like in the picture

I've tried out several things using round textured buttons or setting the button's image as template. But none of these approaches really works.

Thanks so far for your answers.

EDIT: The image of the button should just be a simple pdf. The gradient and the white shadow should be drawn automatically.

As Justin mentioned you should create an NSButton with type Momentary Change. You should then indicate that it is a template image by including the suffix Template in the filename, e.g. EditTemplate.png.

I know you said you tried setting the image as template, but I found that this wasn't always effective if I wasn't using the Momentary Change button type.
