Not as far as I know you cannot set up a decal in Edrawings, but you can show textures and make your own from there.

From the Help:

To create custom textures:

Create a folder in your installation directory where you want to store texture files.

Place any files to use as textures in the folder you created in step 1. The images must be in .jpg, .bmp, or .png format.

In the SolidWorks software, click Tools, Options, System Options, File Locations.

Select Textures in Show folders for, then click Add.

In the Browse For Folder dialog box, browse to the folder you created in step 1.

Click OK.

The next time you apply a texture, the folder path appears in the Texture PropertyManager in the Texture File Locations list, and you can select your custom textures.

When you create a custom texture, you can also apply the texture to a material when you create or edit a material.
