Great friendship you have there :)

Shape layers...
You have to use shape layers and the pen tool (P) or shape tools (U)
Make sure its in shape layer mode (see pic)

You can turn paths into shape layers too...
1. Select the path
2. Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color

Finally save as .pdf file to keep shapes in vector format.
There might be other file types that work too but that's the only one i know for sure.

that's the way to go. so you have to draw paths. there is no simple way for an image so small.

There is really only one shape to make, the circle is already a given :)

Such a nice information you share here i want to more detail about shape layer so can you share here.I also want to ask you how many layer we can add here and how to merge every layer. when we have to turn paths for shape layer.
