DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIGS 1, 2 and 3. An attachment structure 30 can be a type of raised column 31; the raised column can be formed as a multilateral column such as a circular column, pentagonal column, star column, as FIG. 3 shows. When a user wants to fix a disc 20 on the card 10, he only needs to align a central round hole 21 of the disc 20 with the raised column 31 and press the disc 20 down to cause the central round hole 21 to be stuck around the circumference of the raised column 31, and then, the fixing of the disc 20 can be completed, as FIG. 2 shows. Besides, all types of patterns can be designed on the surface of the disc 20 to match up with the integral design of the card 10 to attain to the integral vision effect for the disc 20 and the card 10.
