Big Card keeps important papers in order. Tiny Card can be exchanged for a prize in an arcade. Round Card hangs out in a glamorous boutique. But is any card as lucky as Little Card? He's going to school to become a birthday card -- in other words, to sing, play games, eat cake, and be happy all day long. \u003ci\u003eBut wait  \u003c\/i\u003eOn the day he's supposed to take his talents into the world, Long Card tells him there's been a mix-up and they need to trade jobs.
