I believe that BrE uses 'round':

I will get round to sending cards this year.

(Or is it just in the case of the preposition?)

Mister MicawberQuoteI believe that BrE uses 'round':
BrE uses both. I pictured the original sentence as I will get sending-cards that are round, so it was natural to type around to get away from thoughts of shape.
