Glowing Cat Eyes Tutorial

Ok, this is my first tutorial so I need opinions.

1. Open a new Photoshop document. (I used 500x500)
2. Fill it with black.
3. Filter-->Render-->Lens Flare, put one in each corner and one in the center.
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+U. (You don't have to do it. I just invented this backround with this step.)
5. Duplicate the layer and set the blend mode to lighten.
6. Filter-->Distort-->twirl 500 degrees.
7. Duplicate the original layer and drag it to the top. Set the blend mode to lighten
8. Filter-->Distort-->twirl -500 degrees.

9. Merge all layers
10. Ctrl+U to colorize image. Check colorize box hue: 110 saturation: 100 (optional).
11. Duplicate the layer and set blending mode to lighten.
12. Filter-->Distort-->Polar Coordinates click rectangular to polar.
13. Ctrl+U to colorize image. Check colorize box hue: 286 saturation: 50 (optional).
14. Merge the two layers.
15. Filter-->Blur-->Radial Blur amount: 100 method: zoom quality: best.
16. Press Ctrl+F twice.

You don't have to do it, it's just I invented this with that step.

:( Does anybody like it?

It's not bad, if you used better colors and added more effects it might look better... I'm definetly no photoshop GOD, this is just my opinion ^^ This whole twirly abstract thing has been done a lot, so it just gets a little repetative, but it's still a nice effect. If your tutorial had even more pictures that would be awesome. But overall, it's not a horrible tutorial. ^^
