here is  what I am trying to do

|R  | R | R  |     R    |
|D  | D | D  |        D |
|   |   |    |          |
|   |   |    |          |
|   |   |    |          |
|   |   |    |          |
-------------------------

but it is
_______________________
|C         |C         |
|  A       |  A       |
|      R   |     R    |
|         D|        D |
|          |          |
|          |          |
|          |          |
|          |          |

After that when I mouse over the card I want it to bring the card into the foreground.

Right now I am stuck trying to get the cards to overlap It only places them side by side. How do I do this?
