We might. What type of paint did you use? Water, oil or other base?

Adding alt.home.cleaning to this thread for their usual helpfulness.

There is a product called (ironically) "Oops" that is made for
removing latex paint spills and drops. Available at paint stores. I'd
suggest that you try it sooner rather than later, and that you test it
first on a hidden portion of the carpet.

But first try using a flat putty knife on the dried spot and see if it
will just pop off. This would work only if it was a small spot and had
not soaked into the fiber of the carpet.
