LM 562 - Get Your Game On - Sequence

This month at Lasting Memories, we are getting our game on.  This week's game is Sequence and we have 3 options for our layouts: grid background, line of photos or sequence of events.

I decided to line up my photos.  I used photos of my two dogs and two cats.  Unfortunately, both of my dogs passed away in the past year - Rocky in June 2020 and Daphne in January 2021.  This is a tribute layout to the relationship between my four fur babies.
