artwork is basically copyright and the best you can do is sue for copyright
infringement if they take your idea. it's very hard to deal with on such a
limited scope. if you had done a whole series of cards, then you might have
something. also, even if they like your idea and don't steal it, they are
unlikely to be interested much unless you can prove that you are capable of
churning out lots of these regularly. it's like stock photography. some
places won't consider you unless you show them a couple of hundred really
superb images and expect you to contribute dozens of equally good, creative
images each month. not all places are this fussy, but it happens.

So, to make it a more universal question:
I know that in a similar situation, in case of inventions,
it is possible to apply for a patent; have an NDA (non-disclosure
agreement)
signed by the company; one can register a trademark design,
but what can be done with the artwork?
