Using the Elliptical marquee tool make a Cirlce while holding the Shift key.
Fill this up with the Background colour(Silvery one)
Make another layer an fill it up with the Foreground colour(Blue)
Make another layer this time fill it with lots of squiggly line using the bluey colour, i used a 5 px brush
