Terry, the image is too small to really do anything with it so if you have a larger image, try this.

Open the image in Corel Photopaint (NOT DRAW) then convert the image to a 1 bit color black and white drawing, make sure it is line art and not halftone or any of the other selections. This will remove all the color and replace it with a solid black and white drawing. Basically it will remove the green and brown and if there is any gradients, it will change those to solid black as well.

Once done you can then copy the image and past it into a new blank document in Corel DRAW. Once there, use the trace function to trace the image. You should get a pretty good trace from it now. Once traced, edit as needed. let me know how that goes for you and if you have any problems.

Hope this helps.
