Hi Miro,
The bokeh effect that's created on that website is basically what you already have but without the inner/our glow. The glow you want to create is with big blurred botches of white that all have low opacity.
Look at this one: http://buildinternet.com/wp-content/uploads/envato-thumb.jpg Much more simple and effective (or better said realistic).
Good luck & Happy Easter :)
try to add depth by changing more than size of your bubbles, but also effects, opacity and light.
Background could be better with a "not so blue" blue and gradient to make it more real (like sky or sea), and maybe some glowing light coming from one side of the image.
I think your right, you don't have a lot of depth on this. The effect you are going for is called a "Bokeh" effect. You can find tutorials here:

I think part of the problem is that you don't really have fills on any of the shapes. The shapes need to have varied levels of opacity's on the fill. Keep working on it.
Thanks, Nate. I found the same site just couple of hours ago. I am currently trying to make the background better, those were very good ready made brushes!
It has some dimensional qualities, add some type and graphics and it might start to look cool.
But if you want it to have more depth. make the bigger circles more opaque and let the smaller ones start to fade a bit. Start over from scratch and create one or two big ones, a few more mediums and the fill in with various smaller sizes.
I've seen tuts for this kind of thing out there. I just don't remember where.
Good luck.
it makes me dizzy lol. but I am sure you can make something awesome out of this. I'll tell you when i found a better way to make this. :)
look like a tutorial result of new PS learner.
i don't get it - what is this all about?
I was asking for help to make a 3d-looking background for a web site. Photoshopping help that is.
Thank you, Noel. I just found masses of tutorials and brushes for this http://www.photoshopwebsite.com/photoshop-tutorials/15-bokeh-effects-photoshop-tutorials-100bokeh-brushes-for-free-download/
Happy Easter to you too!
