One thing that I notice from the schematic, is that ALL of the LED's are in parallel.  This is usually a no-no and should
be avoided.  With a +5V supply you can place 2LED's in series with a current limiting resistor, or you might be able to
get away with 3LED's in series if the Vled is less than 1.6V with a small current limiting resistor.   If you choose to use
the +Vsupply instead of +5V, then you might be able to get away with more LED's in series.
