confetti background frame

I want to make the confetti background so it looks like it is radiating out from the middle. I have tried using the scatter brush in both Photoshop and Illustrator but it looks a lot messier than this picture, and I can not just have two colours using the scatter brush. Could someone please tell me how to do it. (it has been suggested to me by a teacher that they would have done it manually)

    I'd probably do it with a scatter brush and just brush more around the middle.

You could use the symbol sprayer and various symbol tools in Illustrator. Just create a symbol for each of the different pieces of confetti or whatever it is that you have, select the symbol sprayer and spray away...

You can do it manually by dragging objects while holding Alt key. This will create a duplicate. It's a lot faster than using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V key combinations.

Another option is to create multiple circles in random distances from each other and add them as a new art brush. This is also a manual method, but it saves time.
