No the above is a series circuit it would also need a ballast resistor so not to cook your LED's.

This is a parallel circuit-

It is best to give each LED its own resistor.(not shown)

For some reason when I click save it removes the spaces, ASCII characters have never been good for representing circuit diagrams.

Draw two resistors side by side and connect the adjacent ends together. Connect a wire to each junction. That is a parallel circuit, and if a voltage is applied, that voltage appears across each resistor and the total current is the sum of the two currents.

Take two electrical devices that require the same voltage potential. Connect the two hot wires together. Connect the two neutral wires together. Apply the required voltage to the two tied together ends. Now these two electrical devices are operating in parallel.

1). Identify the two points between which you want a parallel circuit.

2). Connect a resistor or other impedance between those two points.

3). Repeat Step-2. You now have a parallel circuit between the two points.

Step-2 may be repeated as many times as desired.
