CRFultz: "I'm not sure what you mean by "digitize over the top"
Here's an example although I haven't finished it yet. I've done the straight lines but haven't yet done the curves. I work in "dwg" format and then at the end when everything is as you want it, you export it or save it in what ever format you need (dxf in your case). I only mention about working in "dwg" because reading between the lines, I got the feeling that maybe you were going directly from your jpeg image to dxf in which case you wouldn't have had any means to manipulate/edit/digitize the image. Although I used to use a CAD package 15 years ago, it was "not a patch" on AutoCAD so once again, I'll state my new "newness" to AutoCAD so if there are any more experienced users that care to comment or correct what I've said above, please go ahead. The best thing you can do is get yourself an AutoCAD book and work through the exercises and when you get stuck, do a search here in cnczone and if still stuck post the question here.
