You can use a NE555 drive, so circuit more simple. If you will be the AVR micro controller unit (MCU with a TINY13. Ha ha

I think there is a place for this. A simple timer circuit blinks only 1 LED and does not give a pseudo random effect. Microcontroller projects involve programming.

I think You can do this much much better, I assume this is your first experimental version.

You can see this led candle project, Internet is full of them :

The project was a (prize winning) entry for the Dangerous Prototypes 7400 competition. I think it is fun to be able to flicker 10 LEDs with a single logic chip. Of course there are lots of other ways to do this sort of thing.
