A couple for starters:

CMX (3,5,4,2,4)

A pair of cats making a drum (3,3)

If anyone's interested, the best colour to use to hide solutions in the standard view of this forum seems to be EAF6FD, which is roughly mid-way between the lighter blue background (EFF7FB) and the darker one (E4F4FE).

Darker

Edit: They all seem to do better on the lighter background.

Actually maybe I use the non-standard "skin".
