A big thank you for all your diverse scenarios! I hope to try them to see what I can learn. After I posted my question, I couldn't just leave it alone. :-) Digging around in the menus, I found Filters>Render>Line Nova. I played around with the parameters until I got what I needed. (49 rays radiating from what would be the centre of the CD image) Then I drew a concentric circle of a size I guessed would work. I scaled the little circular image. I pasted it as a new layer and dragged it to fit between the rays and just touch the outside of the circle. Once I had the 49, I deleted the base layer which got rid of the rays and the circle. I used Filter>Render>CD mask to create a new base layer and added the text layers. (I did this a few weeks ago, and don't remember the steps exactly, so please excuse errors and omissions.) One of you asked why "49"? The CD is a recording of a memorial service we held here for the 49 people murdered on June 12 in Orlando, Florida.) I've attached the finished image. Again, thank you all very much!
