365 Cards

Just a quick one from me this evening. This one is for 365 cards. The inspiration for the challenge is:
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true
and here is what I came up with:
