Looks good!

I know one can go to town on what to put on the board, but a second LED on one of the port lines(on pcb) is invaluable. It allows easy checking on power up/diagnostic//// without having to actually make connections to the board.

Also, I see some port lines don't come out, like TX does but not RX or RB0.
Maybe RA5 could be that diag. LED

Also;
- I see there is no provision for the little capacitors across the Xtal.
- The pads that are directly into the copper ground plane will be quite difficult to solder unless broken into islands.
- Since one is unlikely to use a top-silk, some text on the copper can be really helpful too. Also for the PCB house to identify your board (remember to flip text!)
Some text worth considering;
- pcb name
- date or serial No.
- +  -
- 1..6
