Ahahahahah :-)

Beautiful problem ! Not really a graph problem, but a beautiful problem.

What do you think of this ?

http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/combinat/designs/block_design.html#sage.combinat.designs.block_design.steiner_triple_system

Does it sound familiar ? But then it only works for cards with 3 pictures 
on it. The trouble is that what you are looking for is not exactly 
straightforward to produce...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_design#Definition_of_a_BIBD_.28or_2-design.29

You will find some solutions there :

http://designtheory.org/database/t-designs/

You are interested in the following values :
t = 2 (because you have a condition on PAIRS of elements)
L = 1 (because only ONE card must contain both symbols at the same time)
v (the total number of elements)
k (the number of elemens on each card)

By the way, Sage's documentation points toward this file, which may 
interest you :  http://www.utu.fi/~honkala/designs.ps

....

Oh, and having more of this kind of stuff inside of Sage would be really, 
really, REALLY great :-)

Have fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun !
