glowing background

Hi,

Need some guidance here before diving into it…

I’d like to create a simple one or two screens app and have the background of said screens being made of a simple pattern (say pois) and give it an animated, color-shifting-glowing effect. 

Is it possible and should-could I use corona libraries? Or create a  specific kind sprite? If so what software should I use? Can you guys point me at the right direction?

Thanks.
