STEP 3
Select the ellipse and go to Edit>Define Brush. Name your brush and that's
done. Now we have a new brush ;)
STEP 4
Go to Window>Brushes (F5). The first thing to do in the Brush Engine is to
select our new Brush. The size won't matter because you will change
that when you use it. The Spacing, however, is very important. Change
the value to 100%. After that, select the Shape Dynamics, then
Scattering and Other dynamics. For the values use the image below.

STEP 5
Before we start painting our bubbles, let's create a new layer and fill it with a
colorful gradient. I created a new layer and used the layer styles to do
that but feel free to do the way you are used to. My gradient settings are
as follows: Blend Mode is Overlay, Opacity is 100%, Style is Linear, and
the Angle is 45º. The colors I used are: Yellow (#00085), Cyan
(#1bdaeb), Purple (#9b3b81), Orange (#d27e34).
STEP 6
Let's create a new Folder in our Layer Palette. Rename the folder to Bubble
and change the Blend Mode to Color Dodge. Then create a new layer,
choose white for the color and select the Brush Tool (B). Now just paint
some ellipses with our custom brush. For this first layer use a big size,
like 500-600px.
STEP 7
Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. For this first layer use 20 pixels for the
Radius.
STEP 8
Create another layer and paint more brushes. This time however use a
smaller size for the brush. After that go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur.
Use 4 pixels for the Radius.
STEP 9
Create another layer and repeat the previous step, this time however use a
much smaller brush. Apply the Gaussian Blur to this layer as well, but
use only 1 pixel for the Radius.
