<Attempting to capture the Freeze card, Syaoran skates towards Sakura.

The entire sequence of Syaoran skating towards Sakura(at least 3 cuts) involves three backgrounds that are rapidly used in order to convey a sense of movement and refraction off the ice. The special effects(what can be seen as small lines in the screenshot) are from the cel, whereas the background alternates between each frame. This particular item came with backgrounds 1 and 3, both of which are annotated with the particular cuts that they were used for. The one that I scanned is the third background.

Although the layout that I have is from the next sequence(Syaoran close-up), I chose to use this particular screenshot as it was easier to distinguish than the next shot. Due to Freeze chasing after Syaoran under the ice, distinguishing the particular colors used in the backgrounds can be difficult. However, for every movement that Freeze and Syaoran make, the background changes.

From Episode 33 - "Sakura's Freezing Ice Skating Experience".>"Chibi Chibi!"

After handing Usagi some candy, Usagi is overjoyed and tells Chibiusa that she's much nicer than Chibiusa. Chibichibi, unable to communicate well, doesn't know who Chibiusa is and responds with her trademark 'chibichibi?'

I absolutely love this character - she's so cute. It's still one of my favorite cels of this character.

From Episode 186 - "Chibi Chibi no nazo!? Osawagase Daitsuiseki" (The mystery behind Chibichibi! The troublesome pursuit).
