| Nice! Now I've go to see if it works tiled. 
EDIT: I didn't use the exact numbers you applied, for I went for a different style: More of a "neon glow".

Mine doesn't appear to look exactly the same as yours.
I have no idea where I went wrong, but one thing I did notice was that the option to merge layers was only on one of the layers, and even then it was greyed out.
I love to do all the PhotoShop tutorials on offer around here because I'm such a PS dummy and love to learn! |

Third try lucky!
Don't know how I did it, because I copied and pasted the colours you posted into PS, but I got two completely different colours the second time and it worked so much better! |

That explains it.
Just a quick addition.
If you do it in black and white, you can set it to overlay a colored cloud layer to get some nice effects.
