Russ,

Not really, but you can effectively make every card in your stack a 
different size. You might do something like this in the card script:

Card 1

on preOpenStack
--Increase the width and height by 100
   put the rect of this stack into tRect
   add 100 to item 3 of tRect
   add 100 to item 4 of tRect
   set the rect of this stack to tRect
end preOpenStack

Card 2

on preOpenStack
--Decrease the width and height by 100
   put the rect of this stack into tRect
   add -100 to item 3 of tRect
   add -100 to item 4 of tRect
   set the rect of this stack to tRect
end preOpenStack

You can also "set the width of this stack to ..."  & "set the height 
of this stack to..."

But you might want to use the rect of the stack to fix the upper left 
corner (put the rect of this stack into tRect; set the top of this 
stack to item 2 of tRect; set the left of this stack to item 1 of 
tRect)

Create cards of arbitrary size (within the bounds of the stack max 
and min heights and widths as well as arbitrary location.)
