How to do 'orbs' was first posted on Elements Village - a must-visit site for those with Photoshop Elements, at:

where there are loads to look at to give you a better idea of what you can produce.
The (manual) instructions are in post one.

there are links to two 'actions' for insertion into Elements so that you can produce them at the proverbial touch of a button.
If you have an original picture of - say - white plus one other colour, then you get an 'orb' which is very abstract because the white part is the same as the white background.
I used an original (pure) black and white image and created 'orbs' from different parts of it, selected four that I thought went together and created a 'quattrotich':
The tutorial I followed to produce the 'quattrotich' is at:

But be warned - they can be addictive and you may need to do them for a while to get them out of your system
