Here's my take on it. It's not a trace or copy. The pieces in the svg are separated. HTH

Pasta3, yours is the best likeness...good going! I wanted to know, though,... I could not get the white part to show when exporting mine as .bmp for picture...do I need to put a black layer behind everything. I am just now learning how to do this. My picture is a screen save and crop in Paint.

gj1 - I do all of my tracing and design work (very limited ) in Inkscape. I redrew everything, duplicated it a couple of times, welded (union), separated the parts as needed and then just filled in each piece with color. A lot of times I will try to make a solid black background piece, but in this case I used the flesh tone and all of the other pieces can be glued on that. Hope this makes sense. Here's a screen shot of the svg showing the separated pieces.

gj1 - I forgot to add that in Ink, you get to define the width and color of your stroke line. That's why you can see the black outline on my santa face. There's still so much to learn!
