Decal placement problem

I needed a common item to illustrate size in a presentation, so I thought I would scan and make a quarter I could just drop into the file. I placed the heads and the tails on the solid as decals, and one always seems to partially bleed through to the other side of the Model. Is this a bug with the Decal?  File is attached.

Hey Ron,

 

It looks like if I uncheck the "Chain Faces" option on the tail image the bleed through doesn't occur any longer.  Maybe the image is just a little bit off in size and causes this strange happening for the decals.  Not sure this is the solution or not, but give it a shot!

Thanks, James. I'm sure the image is off size slightly, this was just quick and dirty. That did seem to fix the bleed through.

Hey There!

 

Im having a decal issue as well! so much so i had to turn on the solidworks for the first time this year. Im wondering why i cant float my decal of my entire body, it is confined by the edges of the profile i'm trying to add a decal to. which doesn't allow me to line the decal up properly even though its the correct size. Any way to turn off this collision? its when the center position point comes in contact with the edges of my part.
