Look up a photo of Phidippus regius; it might be a young spider, as the Phidippus get moderately large. If you can't find any of regius, try Phidippus audax - same size and shape, but white or yellowish dots instead of orange. If it's not like that, I'm not sure what it might be - perhaps a more detailed description or a photo would help then.

It is a widow spider. The dots can look redish to yellowish.
