A greeting card mounted particulate matter dispersion method and apparatus is as follows: in a preferred embodiment, the method of the present invention includes the steps of holding particulate matter (14) such as confetti, seed or rice in a suitable open receptacle (12), attaching the receptacle to a greeting card (30), storing motive energy to turn or spin such receptacle, and releasing the stored energy, thereby providing kinetic energy to the receptacle and its contents, and thus dispersing the particulate matter. An apparatus of a preferred embodiment of the invention includes a receptacle or envelope (12) having an opening for holding particulate matter (14), energy storage elements (18) for storing motive energy to be applied as kinetic energy to the receptacle and the particulate matter contained therein, and attachment elements (20) for attaching the apparatus to a greeting card (30) or other suitable surface.
