How to draw special tikz borders

I am trying to draw a diagram showing the action of soap on grease and dirt. Currently I have the following diagram:



enter image description here



I would like the shapes that surround the large orange-yellow blobs to be the same as the shapes that are free and not bound. The code is as follows:
