Help with recreating an image

Hi! I'm new, and I think I need some help. I'm trying to recreate an image that I made some time ago.

I remember there being a few layers, but I've since merged them. I didn't think I'd want to use this design again, and I never saved a backup. Needless to say, I regret not doing so, because I can't remember what I did for the life of me.

If there's anyone that can figure out how this was created, or can create something similar, I would be forever grateful.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if there was more to this image.
I was able to get this much of it,
by adjusting the color levels.

The pattern reminds me of rotated layers with lowered opacity.

I had a bit of fun with the clone layer tool.

Thank you for the replies.

I'm not as concerned with the color as I am with recreating the pattern. From what I *can* remember, I placed a colored layer on top of a desaturated layer and messed around with the opacity settings until it came out how I liked. I just don't remember what filters I used to render that pattern in the first place.

You didn't combine a couple of Qbist images?
Blending modes?

No, I don't recall combining any images. It was just rendered out of filters.
I don't remember what blending modes I've used, either, unfortunately.

I might try cloning layers as was previously suggested and seeing if I can get something similar.

Thank you for all the help offered.
