Halloween Project

In an effort to stay current with everything I learned in school I decided to start a Halloween project. I'm building boards to do some cool lighting effects outside so we can scare the kiddies.
Basically I'm using a serial to parallel constant current led driver to drive 3 high output RGB LED's from Osram. I'll have eight of these boards connected in series all driven by the Luminary micro Arm 7 micro-controller development kit that I got for Christmas.
Since I'm cheap I'm manufacturing the PCB myself using Press'n Peel for the etch resist. It won't be as good as having it manufactured somewhere, but it'll be much cheaper.
Results too follow...
