I'd recommend using Inkscape to draw the circle's sector with the Circle tool (Ctrl+Shift+drag to draw a perfect circle, then drag the right handle and input the exact angle you need in the top toolbar with the tool's settings). Copy the sector to clipboard, in GIMP go to the Paths dockable dialog, right-click for contextual menu and use Paste a Path command. Then select the newly pasted path, move it to desirable location and convert it to selection )bottom toolbar of the Paths dialog). Before rotating, move each new piece of the mandala so that its corner with the smallest radius is right on top of a likewise corner of the adjacent piece. Then when you rotate, there will be a handle in the center of the layer which is the rotation center. Move it to that very corner with the smallest radius. That way you will be able to make perfect alignment of pieces. That's beginning to sound like a complete tutorial mostly because the author pf the original tutorial at http://www.earthmandalas.com did a lousy job at explaining things.

Enable display of the mask via right-click menu so that the mask is displayed instead of the layers's contents. 2. Layers New from Visible. 3. Apply your filter to that layer. 4.

I wouldn't do it in GIMP for all the money in the world. Not until vector layers get a UI :) Personally I use Inkscape for that. Here is how I do it: 1. Create a really large canvas, e.g. A3. 2. Import all the (cropped) images, embedding them into SVG. 3. Make sure every picture has origin coordinate rounded to a value without decimal bit (e.g. X is strictly 200 px, not 200,45), so that it isn't blurred. 4. Create a new layer above. 5. Lock the layer with images below. 6. Draw all the circles. 7. Unlock the layer with images, select each pictures and export it to PNG. With Inkscape I can freely scale circles as they are vector objects, and I can easily tweak their opacity. If you can't trade speed over flexibility, try Shutter.
