Is It Still Called "Red-Handed" If the Culprit Has No Hands?

I ordered fabric for costumes almost two weeks ago and I was really hoping that the package will arrive with enough time for me to make the costumes and take pictures of the kids in them.
I wanted to make tags for the shalach manos with the kids' photos, especially with this year's theme, since I have a food to match each child. Last year I stayed up all night the night before Purim to put finishing touches on the costumes.
This year I started thinking of ideas late as it was. By the time I thought of the Havdala theme and wracked my brain for ideas on how the costumes will be made... found the proper materials and ordered them... I was afraid that with all the snow storms the package wouldn't arrive with enough time to spare.
Luckily, I got the package on Tuesday, the day before the storm! And over the next three days I finished making 2 1/2 out of three costumes.


(Just a sneak peek... I'm saving the juicy details for Purim!)

As for the title of the post... I was painting a label for Gedalya's grape juice costume with fabric paints. I was quite proud of it, since I wrote Gedalya's name in the shape of a logo of the company "Gedilla."

I put it on the table to dry. When I came to check on it later, this is what I found:
The logo on top is the new one I made after the original was destroyed in a mess of red. The smear on the purple fabric is just one of the casualty sites on the poor costume. I managed to wipe off most of the splotches with rubbing alcohol, but the logo had to be redone. The first one looked nicer. *sigh*

We bring to the case evidence #1:
The guilty look.


Evidence #2

Any questions?
