The themes for Week 352 are as follows, you may submit two different CLAMP icons provided they each fit at least one of the challenges below. A list of series and galleries are available
here for your convenience.
Conceptual: Noise
You must somehow represent this concept in your icon. You are not limited to using the actual word itself; you can use a variation of it, one that is similar in meaning or a related term. You can also use phrases and imagery that reflect the theme.
Images: Cardcaptor Sakura
(featuring: Eriol, Kero & Sakura, Syaoran and Tomoyo)
You must use one or multiples of these images and only the versions given, don't try to find another one to substitute instead. You cannot include any additional outside imagery with the exception of brushes/textures or stock photography etc. added purely for decoration.

Lyrics: Brighter Than The Sun
You must use at least three consecutive words from the following lyrics. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation/letter casing and you may substitue alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &) or vice versa (e.g. ' with the missing letter/s). You are not allowed to incorporate any external text with the exception of tinytext/brushes that are purely decorative and not legible. Don't forget to proofread your entry.
Brighter Than The Sun
Colbie Caillat
Stop me on the corner
I swear you hit me like a vision
I, I, I wasn't expecting
But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go, with it
Don't you blink you might miss it
See we got a right to just love it or leave it
You find it and keep it
Cause it ain't every day you get the chance to say
[Chorus]
Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun
I've never seen it, I found this love, I'm gonna feed it
You better believe, I'm gonna treat it better than anything I've ever had
Cause you're so damn beautiful
Read it, it's signed and delivered, let's seal it
Boy we go together like peanuts and paydays, Marley and reggae
And everybody needs to get a chance to say
[Chorus]
Everything is like a white out, cause we shika-shika a shine down
Even when the, when the light's out, but I can see you glow
Got my head up in the rafters, got me happy ever after
Never felt this way before, ain't felt this way before
I swear you hit me like a vision
I, I, I wasn't expecting
But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go?
[Chorus x2]
Brighter than the sun.
[Repeat x3]
[Humming]
Yeah
Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
[Repeat x4, Fade]
