Regarding Regulator on the Mood Ring Pedal?

[Sky]

I am purchasing parts to build the mood ring, but I am very new to this.  Can anyone tell me if using a LM78L05 will work in place of a LM7805.  Looks like the main difference is that the recommended 7805 has 1 Amp and the 78L05 has 100mA's.  I am lost as to figure out if this will work or not or cause crazy problems. 

Thanks for any help you can give me.

You want to get the 1 amp one with the heat sink on it.
