# Card

```gistui
root = Grid(Card(Header("Card", size:sm), "The default surface."), Card(Header("Sunk", size:sm), "A quieter, inset surface.", v:sunk), Card(Header("Outline", size:sm), "A border, no fill.", v:outline), cols:3)
```

## Signature

```gistui
Card(...children, v:card|sunk|outline|clear, gap:Gap, accent:Accent)
```

- **Group:** Layout
- **Children:** Yes: any component or text
- **Positional arguments:** none
