No problem!
Another good trick is to colour shift existing cards. The key is making sure the abilities fit with the colour pie. So, let's say we want to add a powerful tribal-based finisher. We can look to a card like Nameless One.
We can keep the power/toughness ability--it's not a colour-specific ability, and cards like Scion of the Wild demonstrate it fits with green.
Morph is incredibly dull, so we can replace that with something a tad more green--let's go with trample.
Trample is a lot more powerful than morph, so we should probably increase the cost. Let's go with 5 mana. One extra mana--let's make it two coloured mana, as opposed to an extra generic, seems reasonable.
Drey Warden (Drey is a noun meaning "squirrel's nest).
Creature - Squirrel Avatar
Trample
Dray Warden's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Squirrels on the battlefield.
X/X.
Also, related to the above creature, I'm not sure if you are familiar with the Squirrel Nest and Earthcraft combo. This will create an infinite number of squirrels.

I strongly feel that since Squirrels are natural hunter/gatherers, their cards should reflect that as well.
