Spookily similar to this I have just made,
**broken link removed**
, an LED PWM demoboard based on the 16F887, with a 16Mhz clock crystal (and 2 15pf caps), an ICSP connector, a few LED and Darlington-drivers. If you imagine the circuit basically follows the rows, there is a 220 ohm DIL resistor pack tied directly to the PIC's pins, they go through to the ULN2903's, which sink a bit more current, and then through another 220 resistor pack to +ve...
This is a test I did, of directly soldering LEDs to the legs of PIC12F675's, and leaving running for 36hrs (Nokia charger powered)... With no restistors or anything but power to the PIC I made a nice RGB-up-down-type thing which still works now and is the size of an 8pin PIC... I eventually have ended up with 3 parallel LEDs on 3 legs, RGB, and still works, even after being tested bouncing around a clear 2" tube over a speaker (to put the photo into context)... Pointed-LEDs in tubes create strange patterns when the light emitting from the tube is proejected on a surface, and the speaker made it move!!

Cool, hope everyone is ok in the world...
