create rectangle and fill with blue.

( to create red twirl you first need to create leaf)

MAKING OF LEAF:
Gradient setting: 5573BA 55DFCA 119312

use PENTOOL to create a long egg shape/oval and fill with gradient. ( you could also create a circle and use warp tool to create a similar shape)

Select SMODGE TOOL> and smudge edges of the shape to create feather strands. drag and pull motion.
Smudge one long strand to create point at the bottom of feather.

EDIT>TRANSFORM>WARP . warp shape to create natural feather shape -- bend.


TO CREATE RED TWIRL>

FILTER>BLUR>TWIRL setting MAX.

Twirl leaf until you get a nice swirl shape.
set LAYER BLEND MODE to EXCLUSION.
add a LAYER MASK. B&W gradient to mask out centre of twirl .
