Turn text into a mask
#1
I am running GIMP 2.10.20 (revision 1).  I am designing a logo for my boat - the name is Dragon Fire.  I have an image of dragon breathing fire, along with the text "Dragon Fire"  Rather than having solid color text, I decided to make the text filled with the flame.  So I made a new layer and copied the flame into it.  The flame has been placed under the text.  This flame layer is just beneath the text layer.

I did a rectangular selection of the text (which has a transparent background) and made a mask using the selection.  I subtracted this from the flame layer, but got a rectangular product.

How can I turn the text itself into a mask to subtract from the flame?

Thanks,
David
