Is "thanks yourself" colloquially and/or grammatically correct?
Can I use "thanks yourself" in a situation where the person who thanks me is also a part/reason of me making it.
Example: I'm creating a wallpaper but I need some help from person A. When I finally finish it, person A thanks me for making it. But it was also because of person A that I was able to make it, so I answer "thanks yourself" (instead of "you're welcome").

I swear I've heard this being said somewhere.

No. It is not correct in any way.
You might say: "Thank you for your part or work"

I would say that yes, you can say it and it would be alright. It isn't said a lot. Sometimes you might say, "Thanks, you too..."
the follow up being something like "...you helped too" or something specific to the situation. The most common thing to happen is for some one to say "thank you" and you simply say "thank you" back and maybe a few other words of appreciation about how they helped.

I also don't think it's correct. I am from the U.S., so maybe it's used in the U.K. or Australia. I would just say, "thank you" (emphasizing the "you"), or say something like, "You're welcome. Thank you for your help!"

We're up to three people who have heard it and possibly use it.
That's one thing that makes English so fascinating, Line, we all have slightly different understandings of our language.

You all seem to be very different in what you mean even though you speak the same language hehe
