Create a new document 21.59cm x 27.94cm 72dpi for screen use)(Choose your two colours in the colour palette first)Begin with a radial gradient, by double clicking the unlocked background layer to activate the Layer Styles menu, then apply a Gradient Overlay.

Now we will generate some Photoshop clouds to soften up the background a little more. Create a new layer and fill it with black. Generate the clouds by pressing Filter > Render > Clouds (make sure your colours are set to black and white). I also used a large soft eraser brush to erase the top of my clouds

Change the Blending Mode to Soft Light.

Now we will create a subtle yellow glow. Create a new layer, draw a circle with the Elliptical Marquee Tool and fill it with yellow #fbc531.
Apply Filter> Blur > Gaussian Blur with a Radius of 114 pixels. Lower the Opacity to 45%
