-'''Nickname:''' "The Dancing Flower"

-'''Nickname:''' "Magician's Tricks"
-'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see "AMERICAN GREETINGS" in its corporate font at the bottom, without the "I" in "GREETINGS". A red person clad in a cape spins around to us as the cape floats upwards, on top of the text, and has the "I" as if it were a magic wand. He winks, waves it, and then spins around. He transforms into the American Greetings rose logo as the "I" falls into place.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The red person moving.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the show.
-'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' On ''Maryoku Yummy'', high-pitched ascending sparkles are heard, followed by four crystallized notes. This is actually based on a musical cue that plays when the wishes disappear and get granted.
-'''Availability:''' Seen on ''The Twisted Whiskers Show'', ''Maryoku Yummy'', ''Packages From Planet X'', ''Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Bitty Adventures'', and ''Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot''.
-'''Editor's Note:''' None. It's pretty cute.
