Would this be ok for a simple 12v regulator?

Also, if you are going to etch it, you might want to bump up the clearances a bit between the ground plane and the traces (wires) and pads. I use 16mil generally for self-etched stuff (Edit/Design Rules/Clearance).

Pins swapped and spacing increased. Is there anything else i should take into consideration?

I've found that it is easier to use the Isolate command for this (in Eagle). You can set each polygon/plane separately using this if you wish.

Is there any chance someone on this thread can help me with a small power supply? I'm looking to convert a 16V AC 1.5 A input to a 12V DC output. I've been suggested to run the AC through a rectifier --> switching regulator for 12.5-13v dc output --> 12v linear regulator to clean it up.
