How to perform a function to multiple objects?

I am trying to tween the color of all ImageLabels that is a descendant of Frame. I would do GetAllChildren() however, there are other objects besides Image Labels in the Frame.

How would I reference ALL image labels in the Frame as one variable? That way I can easily perform actions to them.

01local Button = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Button")
02local Frame = script.Parent
03 
04 
05function debounce(func)
06    local isRunning = false    -- Create a local debounce variable
07    return function(...)       -- Return a new function
08        if not isRunning then
09            isRunning = true
10 
11            func(...)          -- Call it with the original arguments
12 
13            isRunning = false
14        end
15    end
16end
17 
18function isImage( Image )
19    return Image:IsA("ImageLabel") and Image:IsAncestorOf(Frame)
20end
21 
22 
23 
24Button.MouseButton1Down:connect(debounce(function(func)
25 
26print('Button pressed!')
27 
28 
29local color3 = Color3.new
30local vec3 = Vector3.new
31 
32local vec3toColor3 = function(vec)
33    local newvec = vec3(vec.x/255, vec.y/255, vec.z/255)
34    return color3(newvec.x/255, newvec.y/255, newvec.z/255)
35end
36 
37function color3toVec3(col)
38 return vec3(col.r*255, col.g*255, col.b*255)
39end
40 
41function tween_color(start_color,end_color,alpha)
42local start = start_color
43local endme = end_color
44local startvec = color3toVec3(start)
45local endvec = color3toVec3(endme)
46return vec3toColor3(startvec:lerp(endvec,alpha))
47end
48while true do
49    for i = 0,1,.1 do
50    Image.ImageColor3 = tween_color(color3(81, 183, 255),color3(36, 79, 113),i)
51    wait(.1)
52    end
53    for i = 1,0,-.1 do
54    Image.ImageColor3 = tween_color(color3(81, 183, 255),color3(36, 79, 113),i)
55    wait(.1)
56    end    
57end
58end))

Use for i,v in pairs() do;

Either put all of the parts you want in a table and use this loop on them or have all of the parts under one parent and use :GetChildren(). This loop checks all the posibilities and does what you want them to do.

like;

1for index,variable in pairs(Workspace:GetChildren()) do
2if variable:IsA("Part") then
3variable.Name = "LoppyMoney"
4end
5end

Hope this helps :)
