I have read that PS CC has a swirly bokeh feature, but Elements does not. Anyone know how to make this Bokeh?

Do you mean Radial Blur or Motion Blur reminiscent of the vintage lenses such as Helios?

Where have you read this information?  I'm really not sure what a swirly bokeh feature is.  So I Googled it and came up with this video tutorial.  If this is what you are referring to, then Elements has everything you need to create it.  Here is an example, I created in less than a minute.

 

If this is not what you mean, please give us more information.
