A quick button I drew up. Took me 6 layers, but it can definitely be done in less. So, let's see what you've got.
PSD's attached, person who can use the least amount of layers (without flattening everything) gets my collection of kitten pictures. Good luck!

@Kubilay Sapayer Somehow all this time I didn't realize I could use a gradient fill on a vector shape in photoshop! You just learned me something awesome!

Started out making the initial gradient, converting it to a pattern and applying that. That definitely felt like cheating because I was just making a bitmap graphic. SO I borrowed some ideas from you guys and used gradient fill.

Does a smart object count as one layer? ;-)

1 layer pill, 2 layers if you count the reflection.
