For the more general question, "Is photoshop elements good enough for website mockups?", it is good enough. For web work, Elements is surprisingly adequate - it's got most of the key features in some form, including layers.

What Carol was alluding to is, since the file is a Photoshop .pat file, you must have photoshop to open the file.
