Drag the Background layer to the Create New Layer button to duplicate it, then place it at the top of the palette. Choose Filter > Artistic > Neon Glow. In the resulting Neon Glow dialog box, use the options shown and click the Color Swatch. In the resulting Color Picker dialog box, enter C:88; M:76; Y:0; K:0, and click OK.
