indent in a
colorbox that is within another colorbox. Specifically, the
``inside'' color box is
indented about one space from the left boundary of the ``outside''
color box. See the
example code.
\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage{fancybox}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\shadowbox{%
\colorbox{Wheat}{%
\begin{minipage}{12cm}
\colorbox{BurlyWood}{\parbox[t]{\textwidth-\fboxsep}{\textbf{Short
Heading for this
Box}}}\par\vspace{1ex}

You need to set and reset the \fboxsep at the right points to do this:
\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage{fancybox}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}\fboxsep0pt
\shadowbox{\fboxsep3pt
\colorbox{Wheat}{%
\begin{minipage}{12cm}
\colorbox{BurlyWood}{\parbox[t]{\textwidth-\fboxsep}{\textbf{Short
Heading for this
Box}}}\par\vspace{1ex}

What you provided was close to what I wanted and made clear what I
needed to do.
The following works.
\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage{fancybox}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\shadowbox{\fboxsep0pt
\colorbox{Wheat}{%
\begin{minipage}{12cm}
\colorbox{BurlyWood}{\parbox[c][3ex]{\textwidth-\fboxsep}
{\textbf{Short Heading for this Box}}}\par\vspace{1ex}
