    I’m Sorry

    by
    Today’s Daily Create was to make a picture with words on it with the theme being “I’m Sorry.” This is an interesting concept and I took it as making something with a sarcastic twinge.

    Puppies + 2048 = Daily Create

    by
    Today’s Daily Create consisted of making a special edition of one of my favorite addicting games, 2048. In my special edition, I replaced the classic number tiles with puppy tiles.
