Why not just use the elliptical marque tool? If you want circles hold down the shift key. Then select the color and use the paint bucket tool.

You could make the circle as a shape layer using the Shape Tool circle (with Shift held for symmetry).

Having it on it's own layer makes it easier to adjust. Afterwards you can flatten the image by merging the layers.

thanks guys i tried making a customizable brush with different hues and spacing but in the end it turned out to be easier to just buckle down and make a bunch of ovals and fill them in with the bucket.
