To add a View to Panels you first need to specifically tell Panels which Views you want to make available for it to use. To do this, go to: admin/panels/views, choose the name of the View you just created above from the selection menu, and press Create panel view. Copy and paste the View's name into the Panel view title field - you can leave all the other settings as default - scroll down and submit the page.
