Sure... here's a way, assuming you already have an image object on the 
card and you're dropping onto it (this is the script of the image 
object):

on dragEnter
  set the acceptDrop to true
  pass dragEnter
end dragEnter

on dragDrop
  if the dragData["image"] is not empty then
    put the dragData["image"] into me
  else
    beep
  end if
end dragDrop
