Freeduino in a project box

I have my Freeduino in a project box and I'd like to have a LED on the outside of the box to monitor that the freeduino has power. I'm just using the USB connection for the boards needs and Im wondering where the best place is to connect the LED?

I was thinking of just connecting the LED with an appropriate resistor to the analogue 3.3V pin and ground.....would this be OK?

Thanks in advance

Yes that's OK, that pin is limited to about 50mA but you won't be taking anything like that.
