Alright let's get started. 

Open up your canvas 600 x 600.

Open up Autumn Eventide F Frame, and resize to 560 x 379, C&P into your canvas. 

Now open up your tube and resize to your liking, C&P into your canvas.

Open Autumn Eventide F (5), resize to 549 x 570. Image>Rotate Left. C&P. 

Now, copy your close up tube and paste into your canvas behind the first frame. 

Duplicate twice, go to the first layer, Image> Flip Horizontal, and then position the tube layers accordingly. and then merge all close ups.  

Now go to your magic wand tool, and fill the inside of the top frame, Autumn Eventide F. 

Selections>Modify... 5. 

Got down to the close up, merged layer and then go to Selections, Invert, and hit delete on your keyboard.

Selections>Select None. 

Duplicate your close up layer. 

Crop your canvas. 

Now magic wand the center of the top frame again, and Selections>Modify... 5. 

Now take your color picker tool and find 3 colors from your tube to create a gradient, like so: 

Create a new raster layer and then flood fill with your gradient. 

Now go to your top duplicated close up layer, and Adjust>Blur>Gaussian Blur, 6. 

Use your blend mode- Screen on that layer, and on the original close up layer 

use the blend mode Luminance (Legacy). Lower opacity to 75%. 

Now back to the layer that you blurred, use plug-in Vanderlee>Unplugged-X> Interlace

with these settings:
