1. step one :
Create a new document, and add your desired background color.
Then create a new layer (layer 1) and select the Rounded Rectangle Tool and draw a shape similar to mine in figure 1.

PS! Make sure the Create Filled Region is checked Photobucket.
Then we can alter the shape later on without first having to rasterize the layer .

PS! use your creativity to made a layer style.. (Save it to the styles folder in PS 6 - Presets - Styles).

Duplicate the layer and call it layer 2 (oh yes - I'm just sooooo creative with the layer names today :o)

3. step three :
Still at layer 2 select the Move Tool and drag out some helpful Guides according to figure 3. You do this by simply clicking and draging them out from the Rulers.
Then select the Polygonal Lasso Tool and make a selection similar to mine. Make sure the Snap option is checked (View - Snap).

5. step five :
Go back to layer 1 and duplicate it - layer 3.
Move this layer below the layer 1 layer and use the Free transform tool to make it look like like fig. 5.
Then change the Drop Shadow layer style to Distance: 2 pixels and Size: 5 pixels.

Then I used the Edit - Transform - Scale option, and entered Width: 103%, Height: 90%.
