First choice a canvass size according to your choice. I have choose of my own with the dimension of Width: 564 px Height: 451 px.

Select A Gradient with Foreground Color: #922f00 and Background Color: #000000. Create a Radial Gradient Effect. Just Duplicate the Layer using Ctrl + J , change the blending modes to "Color Dodge". It gives a lighter Radial Gradient Effect just like below images.
