STEP 1

Open an image white 851x315.

 Add your tube. 

Apply Mura's Meister > Copies > Wallpaper

I put 8 for number because I wanted to have a few holes in which the white background layer was showing.

Adjust > Blur > Gaussian Blur


Duplicate. Back to origial layer.

Apply Filters Unlimited > Two Moon > Wish it would Rain

Click on the copy. Image > Resize 90%.
