 Be sure that your pallette is correct (press D if not)

 

Make a new layer and run "Filter: Render: Clouds"

 

Now run "Filters: Pixelate: Mosiac"

Depending on what size your document is, select the size of the "squares"

(This one is at 9)

 

The next filter to run is "Filters: Blur: Radial Blur"

I've included the settings I used and for the most part is the standard for any size.

 

After the radial blur, now comes the Emboss ("Filters: Stylize: Emboss")

 

Next, execute an Accented Edges (Filters: Brush Strokes: Accented Edges)

 

After the Accented Edges, do a "Find Edges" (Filters: Stylize: Find Edges) and Invert it (crtl-i)

 

We're almost there! Now do a Hue/Saturation (crtl-u) and pick a good color

 

Now just repeat a "Radial Blur" with the same settings and you're done!
