1. Start by creating a new RGB image. I used the dimensions of 288 x 288 in the example. Create a new layer. Choose any two colors; foreground and background.
Click on Filter > Render > Clouds
Click on Filter > Render > Clouds

2. Click on Filter > Distort > Pinch
Set the pinch value to 100%.
Negative value wont give that burst look, but result in something totally opposite. Give it a try ;)
3. Press Ctrl + F, a few times depending on how much burst you want in your image.
Ctrl + F ; is a hot key for reapplying the filter last used.

4. For the lighting effect, click on Filter > Render > Lighting Effects and set the values to your choice.
You should end up with something like this (shown on the left).

5. Make further customizations if you wish. :)
