Abstract Background[/color]

Step 1: Create a new document (I'm using 420x120). Press D to reset the colours, then navigate to Filter > Render > Clouds, you should get this:

Step 3: Press CTRL + J then navigate to Filter > Distort > Wave, leave the default settings but click randomize. Set this layer to lighten. I got this:

Step 4: Here is the colourized version:

Done! Here is my outcome:
