Not if the target (dots layer) now has a transparent background.
Repeating myself.  Keep the dots in their own layer on top, Use a transform tool on the picture layer with composited preview

This with the 2 layers and the unified transform tool for a change: https://i.imgur.com/vq5gKlE.mp4

Great, that's it (after getting a newer version of GIMP). Thank you for your patience.
