Submit: Week 367
Posting this now (before I pass out) so I don't forget later. There's still some time left to get your set of six icons in as a reply to your designated team thread at the submission post though; I'm only waiting on one last participant! The reveal post will go up sometime tommorrow and it's going to be brilliant XD
The themes for Week 367 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: Vacation
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.

You must somehow use this stock photo in your icon, manipulating it with official CLAMP imagery. You may crop, cut, copy and/or colour it however you wish, as long as it's still clear that you featured at least part of the provided resource.

Lyrics: Land of Dreams
You must use at least three consecutive words from the following song. 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 to avoid potential errors.
Land of Dreams
Rosanne Cash ft. Los Lobos, Bebel Gilberto, TREME
I heard you calling from the start,
A river runs through both our hearts.
A thousand shades of something new,
I cannot wait to play for you.
So play your songs and make them real,
There’s a place for all we feel.
And it’s closer than it seems,
Come and find your land of dreams.
[Chorus]
Land of dreams, land of dreams,
Come and find your land of dreams.
And it’s closer than it seems,
Come and find your land of dreams.
The world is smaller in our eyes,
The city, streets and moonlit skies.
The shining waves and evergreens,
I will give you everything.
You can hear the bells and strings,
Just wait until you make them ring.
And it’s closer than it seems,
Come and find your land of dreams.
[Chorus x2]
