Step 1.
Create a new 250X250 pixels document with the black background. Set the foreground
colour as RGB (204, 51, 0) and the background colour as RGB
(204, 102, 0). Create a new layer (Layer 1), choose
the Eliptical Marquee Tool and make a round selection holding Shift.
Apply Filter > Render > Clouds and then Filter > Distort
> Spherize with the following settings: Amount->100;
Mode->Normal.
Step 2.
Create a new layer (Layer 2) and press "D"
to resert the colours. Apply Filter > Render > Clouds and then
Filter > Render > Difference Clouds several times. Apply Filter
> Distort > Spherize (Amount:100; Mode:Normal).
Set the Blending Mode for the layer as "Color
Dodge".

Choose the "Layer 1" and apply Layer > Layer
Style > Outer Glow with the following settings:
Step 4.
Apply Select > Modify > Contract: 3px. Create a new layer (Layer
3) and drag it into the place between "Layer 1"

Step 5.
Create a new layer (Layer 4) on the top. Apply Filter >
Render > Clouds and then Filter > Render > Difference Clouds

Ctrl, and then delete the selection. Set the Blending
Mode for the layer as "Color Dodge". And
that's it.
