Is this a double sided board? I'd add a bypass cap (100nf) between Vcc and Vss pins of the 876. I often use a 100nf cap between the output of the regulator and ground. Supposedly prevents oscillation. check the datasheet for your regulator. I assume x1 is a resonator - probably a good idea to not run any other traces near it. I always try to get as much ground copper around the crystal/resonator pins. You could probably make this a single sided board.
