The easiest way is to make such a pattern yourself in PS is to use filters / sketch / halftone pattern. As I recall, this should be available in all versions of PS since at least CS1, and probably even earlier. Adjust to taste. Attached is a screen shot and one of the possible patterns this can produce.

You can also simply google {photoshop concentric circles} and find:

1) pre-made images - eg, http://jimiyo.com/2010/concentric3.jpg

2) using the rectangular to polar tool - http://www.mintees.com/resources/2716-easy-concentric-circles-in-photoshop

3) actions to do so, etc.

There are many, many easy-to-find ways to do this.

FYI,there also are programs to create non-equally spaced concentric circles called "Fresnel Zone Plates". Personally, I find these a bit more visually interesting. These vary in spacing from wide near the center to narrow (far from the center). Just Google {zone plate generator} and {zone plate creator} and take a look at:

These patterns are used in a form of pinhole photography that doesn't require such long exposures that has been recently "rediscoved" by amateurs.

HTH,

You're feeling sleepy ... very sleepy ... you are asleep now ...

Good.

Now, when you wake up, you will have an irresistible urge to buy Tom a brand new Nikon D4s and send it to him.
