Open a new document with the following size: 960x900 pixels. For the background color I will use a dark color: #4d4d4d. I will select Rounded Rectangle Tool, and I will create 2 shapes.
I will duplicate these two shapes. To duplicate a shape you need to select it first in your layer palette, then press on CTRL+J . You will see the layers above the original ones. Right click on each copy and choose Rasterize layer.
Then for the top layer please add the following layer styles.

Go to Select > Modify > Contract... and modify with 1 pixel
Create a new layer above all layers ( press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N ), then go to Edit > Transform > Stroke
