PSP ver 8 has bubbles in it and you can customise them as much as you like.
Hope it helps

In psp 8 there are loads of bubble effects, just look under the effects menu.you can alter all sorts of parameters,lighting,ambience,colours etc.

PSP8, balls and bubbles filter... pick "water drops" and adjust the sizes and all, then pick a color to reflect off them, but choose a pattern instead (you have to have your dog's pic loaded first) and then there you go. Something like this:

Instructions on the picture. It was a real quicky made with no intention of trying to get it to look real, just as an instructional demo. Your results will depend on the amount of time you want to take. PS to instructions: You will want to use an opposing dark sunburst to balance out the light ones you make.
Hope it helps.

Its the closest thing to what I would like and what I have seen so far, thanks for your time, not being as proficient as you it will take me longer than a minute or 2..but I appreciate your help

Those are being blown by the girl. They are real, only the reflections were added. Will the dog stay still while bubbles are floating around him? If he will, it's just a matter getting a picture of him with some bubbles and of copying the part with the dog into the bubbles. Create a rough selection around the dog. Copy. Paste as new layer, mirror, resize it to fit the bubble, use the eraser tool at 5 % opacity to merge the edges of the cutout and bring out the highlights of the bubble. Paste the copy of the dog into each bubble. Notice how the photographer made sure to keep the girl isolated from the bubbles. I think you should strive for that. He also used a dark background which made it really easy to work with the bubbles and isolate the girl.

I agree with Pat (Pcody) they look real, but only one instance, they look like one original and the rest resized and cloned.
Hope this helps you get there Pat,
