Welcome @terryd!

You probably have Draft mode activated.

See https://dokuwiki.librecad.org/doku.php/usage:faq#my_drawing_had_some_hatches_how_can_i_see_them, same applies for images.

Check menu View -> Draft to be unchecked or use shortcut <CTRL>-D to toggle it.

For this job Inkscape is possibly the better tool.
It is free too and it can export DXF in case you want to modify the traced image in LibreCAD or need it for machining.
