Images with Adsense - What's the scoop?

I've heard a lot about using images above your adsense ads and wonder what the real scoop is on this? Anyone doing this? I've heard you should put a border around your ads if you are doing this...or at least a line between your images and the ads.

I've been testing this and it does work well, but wonder if I should use a border or line?

You may wish to look at this thread [webmasterworld.com].

Thanks for the link... according to this article

[jensense.com...]

"to be fully complaint with the AdSense terms and policies while using the added images technique, you must have a border between the ads and the images, whether it be a bordered ad unit, or an on-page border you add yourself."

I received a generic warning from Google that I need to make some changes, but...it really irritates me as I have a ton of sites and the email wasn't specific as to what I was doing wrong. Currently I'm not using a border, so I suspect it could be the images above the ads? I'm gonna add borders just to be safe. Sucks...cuz they work so well as it is! (no borders). :(
