Creating a feature circular pattern with spheres.

I am attempting to create a "ring" of spheres.  I created a single sphere and attempted the feature circular pattern, but get the error "rebuild error: select an angular dimension or a linear edge//axis/sketch entity or a cylindrical face or a conical face or a circular edge to define the pattern."  I am attempting to model what is called a "micelle," layer by layer.  Thanks for any assistance.
